The Mayer Fund - Robert H. Smith School of Business

Mayer Fund Overview

The Mayer Fund is run by a select group of second-year MBA students at the Robert H. Smith School of Business who comprise a management team of two portfolio managers and eight to ten equity analysts. The Mayer Fund was established in 1993 with a contribution from the College of Business and Management Foundation. Through appreciation and outside contributions, the Mayer Fund has grown to approximately $2 million.

The Mayer Fund's goal is to achieve capital appreciation with the long-term performance goal to outpace the appreciation of the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis. Although the primary goal of the fund is to achieve capital appreciation, it is just as important that each member learns the processes by which investment decisions are made in a professional asset management setting.
