Empower students to obtain real-world experience.
The Student Investment Fund of the Robert H. Smith School of Business Foundation provides hands-on investment analysis and portfolio management experience for students, rapidly accelerating their investment skills.
A unique trio of portfolios prepares students for successful careers, unlike other programs. The Mayer Portfolio, established for MBA students, was founded thirty years ago. The Senbet Portfolio and The Global Equity Portfolio – were later established for undergraduate, Part-time MBA, and Master of Finance students.
Your support and financial contribution are essential to the continued success of this unique program at the Smith School.
