BUSI 4455U – Student Managed Investment Fund


The Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) is a one semester course 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. 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 a report and present it to the professor at the end of semester.
