BUSI 4455U – Student Managed Investment Fund


The Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) is a two-semester sequence of courses whereby a very select group of students manage a live portfolio, which is made possible by a grant from the University Endowment Fund. Students enrolled in this course receive credit for three hours for two semesters. The students selected to manage the fund are entirely responsible for the investment decisions involving the composition of the portfolio. Student managers establish the stock selection criteria, research the prospective stocks, generate reports, and make decisions to invest or liquidate. The faculty instructor serves in an advisory capacity and will answer questions and make periodic presentations on relevant aspects of investments. The final responsibility of the student managers is to create an Annual Report and present it to the Advisory Board at the annual meeting at the end of the second semester.
