In 2022, a generous donor allocated $100,000 to be in a student-managed investment portfolio, and after working out policies, procedures, and structures over the past year, we are finally having in-person meetings this fall!

A little bit about us and how the Investment Portfolio works:

Throughout the semester, we have bi-weekly meetings with guest speakers discussing topics such as investing strategies, what to look for in a potential investment, monitoring the market, etc. Our investment fund is not intended to be a “cash cow” with instant profits, but it is instead aimed at long-term growth and success, as it is ultimately an educational tool for students to get started with investing.

As well as receiving insight from our guest speakers, members will monitor the market with a mock portfolio on Investopedia, and at the end of the semester, the student(s) have the opportunity to make a formal investment pitch to our external board of advisors. If the pitch is approved, the investment will be purchased! This is truly a great opportunity for our Southern Miss students, and we cannot wait to get started.
