STUDENTS IN MONEY MANAGEMENT

Catalog description

The primary purpose of the student investment fund course is to provide business students an opportunity to experience firsthand the management of a real investment portfolio. Using money donated by alumni and others, student will be responsible for determining and monitoring overall asset allocation, for selecting individual equity and fixed income investments that conform to the investment policy statement, and for managing administrative issues. It is a student-run investment portfolio organized much like an independent money management firm with a management team and different functional areas. Therefore, the progress of the fund and implementation of the investment strategy (determinants of your grade) rely heavily on student initiative.
