 Overview
Brief History
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 over $1.2 million,
as of September 2006. Each year the Mayer
Fund pays a dividend to the Dean's office.
The dividend is used to support a variety
of school programs.
Goal
The Mayer Fund's goal is to
achieve capital
appreciation by capturing the superior
returns that equity investments have historically
provided. The Fund's long-term performance
goal is 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.
Management
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 ten equity
analysts. In addition, a member of the Mayer
Fund is responsible for technology and marketing
for the fund.
