The Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) is a 3 credit hour (1.5 credits per semester) course where students will have the opportunity to manage a long-only value fund investing in U.S. equities. Students will be responsible for managing over $1,000,000 of capital from alumni and the University of Georgia Foundation. Entry into the fund is highly competitive. The interview process occurs in the spring semester each year and attracts top students from the Terry College of Business.

Students accepted into the fund will be divided into industry sector teams that align with their preferences. These teams will be expected to research and follow securities in their industry sectors and will periodically present potential investment opportunities to the class.
