If you are currently in the Finance Core (FINA 330, FINA 340, FINA 350) and are interested in the Student Managed Portfolio class, please stop by the Finance Department and pick up an application.
The Student Managed Portfolio has been a great experience for many students. Here is what past alumni have said about the class:
 |
"I think the Student Managed Portfolio was the single most important asset on my resume coming out of NIU. It was always the first and most talked about topic in all of my interviews and was probably the deciding factor for my job today." Todd Byers |
 |
"The SMP offers students a unique hands-on opportunity in which the fundamentals of asset valuation and portfolio management learned in FINA 340 and FINA 440 are applied to a real investment fund. Being an analyst for the SMP was one of the most valuable experiences of my education at NIU. If you are a student considering a career in Investments, I highly recommend this class." Sarah Galpin |

"I feel that my experience with the Student Managed Portfolio helped me develop a strong understanding of how to perform fundamental and relative valuation on equity investments. I still use many of the same approaches I learned with the group in my own personal portfolio today." Jeremy Netzel |
