Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund

The Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund was established in 2001. The courses that manage the SMIF are currently offered to undergraduate students through two courses designed to give students hands-on experience in performing investment research, investing money, and managing a portfolio prior to entering the workforce. Students are expected to evaluate the existing portfolio composition and attribute past investment performance, generate investment ideas, research investment opportunities, and make recommendations based on their analysis. Some of the research is performed individually while most research is done as a team.

While an undergraduate, Elin's interest in investment management was cultivated at The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, where she majored in Finance, and was a member of the Student-Managed Investment Fund.
