|
UAB’s student-managed investment portfolio has over $500,000 in assets and provides its members with direct real-world experience in stock market analysis and financial management. At weekly meetings, undergraduate and MBA student portfolio managers vote to buy and sell stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds and other securities. These student portfolio managers, and other Fund officers, are eligible to receive generous benefits including scholarships and sponsored travel to national collegiate competitions. The Green and Gold Fund has earned an outstanding national reputation in the stock market investment community by being featured on the highest-rated financial news channel in America, CNBC. The feature, viewed by millions of professional investors, included an interview with the Fund’s 2008-09 student Chief Investment Officer by CNBC anchor Erin Burnett. The Fund has also received national exposure by winning national collegiate portfolio competitions, held annually at the R.I.S.E. (Redefining Investment Strategy Education) Forum, the largest student investment conference in the world. In April 2011, the Fund won first place in the Alternative Investment- Style Category by posting the highest risk-adjusted returns for 2010 in the competition, defeating numerous other prestigious business schools. The Fund also won first place in the undergraduate Growth-Style Category at the 2008 R.I.S.E. Forum, which led to an article about the Fund in BusinessWeek (now Bloomberg Businessweek) magazine Tending a Student-Led Investment Fund in Tough Times
