Student Managed Investment Fund
Sacred Heart University’s Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) provides students with an opportunity for real-world experience in financial markets, investment management and valuation. Students in SMIF work with experienced alumni and investment professionals, with oversight from faculty, to learn about the investment management process. Students conduct sector analysis, analyze potential investments, develop equity research reports and pitch potential investments to grow the portfolio.
Launched in 2014, this experiential learning opportunity is offered to any student interested in finance. Students are divided into teams, each with a team leader, an alumni adviser and a specific sector focus. Each semester, teams present their recommendations to a panel of peers, alumni, donors and faculty, receiving constructive feedback and recommendations.
