Managing Investments I

Catalog description

Managing Investments I is open to students who wish to participate in the Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) program. FINC 200 provides a cornerstone experience in which students, under the guidance of an executive-in-residence and faculty, make investment decisions for the Duquesne Balanced Fund (DBF). DBF is a balanced portfolio of ETFs encompassing broad asset categories of cash, bonds and stocks. Students learn about investing while using Bloomberg terminals in the Investment Strategy Institute. At the end of the course, students present their management decisions and investment results to members of the Investment Strategy Institute Advisory Council. The course does not count toward the Finance major. By permission only.
