The Student Managed Investment Fund was created with $1.0 million from the Chapman University general operating surplus to prepare students for careers in financial services, investment analysis and portfolio management. Students learn investment practice by managing a real portfolio of equities under the supervision of a faculty member, two volunteer practitioners and an advisory board of faculty and investment professionals. The goal is to provide an interactive, real-time application of standard concepts in finance and investments through equity analysis, portfolio management and group decision making. Participating students enroll in a two course sequence of classes and earn six units of credit during the fall and spring semesters. SMIF will be launched in September 2009.
