Educational Benefits
"The practical lessons
learned actually managing a portfolio
not only reinforce academic experience
but differentiate Maryland MBAs from
other students as they interview for
Wall Street."

The Mayer Fund is a year-long, advanced
finance seminar for second-year full-time

have learned in finance classes to actual
investment decisions, and to enhance their

a variety of topics in the seminar including:
- Portfolio Management Theory and
Practice;
- Security Screening and Selection;
- Economic and Industry Analysis;
- Corporate Qualitative and Financial
Analysis;

the results of the decisions they make,
determining which strategies to replicate
and which strategies to avoid in the future.
