MBA 6216 - Student Managed Fund I

Unit(s): 2

The Student Managed Fund gives students at the University of San Francisco the opportunity to manage real money in financial markets, bridging the gap between financial theory and real-world applications. The purpose of the fund is to enrich the education of business students through a ‘hands on’ approach and to beat market performance measured by Standard and Poor’s 500 Index. Students will gain many important skills, including: (a) Real-world, hand-on experience managing large sums of money; (b) develop an in-depth understanding of financial markets; (c) acquire skills in teamwork, research methods, public speaking and explaining, and financial analysis; (d) interact with members of the business and finance community; and (e) become a more attractive prospective employee.
