Managing a Million-Dollar Fund - Experiential Learning at its Best
Today’s MBAs are considering business schools not only based on the school’s
reputation, rankings and curriculum – but, increasingly, based on the unique experiential
learning opportunities business schools offer. Businesses, too, demand that today’s
MBAs immediately apply the skills they learn in b-school to the day-to-day responsibilities
of the company.
In this Smith Business Video View, Tray Spilker a second-year MBA
student, talks about the Smith School’s $1.2 million Mayer Fund, his role as the
fund’s portfolio manager, and how today’s top business students are thriving as
they put theory into practice.
Mayer Fund Members Ring Bell to Open NYSE
A group of Robert H. Smith School of Business undergraduate and MBA students
had the honor of ringing the bell to open trading on the New York Stock Exchange
on January 19, 2007. The students manage the Smith School’s two investment funds
— the Mayer Fund and the
Lemma Senbet Fund — and are in New York for an educational trip to meet with
financial professionals.
The 9:30 a.m. bell-ringing ceremony was televised on CNBC and Bloomberg Television,
as well as broadcast live on NYSE’s Web site, www.nyse.com.
A photo of the ceremony and additional information can be found
at the NYSE
Web site. Following the bell-ringing, the students took part in an educational
seminar at the exchange.
The successful MBA-managed Mayer Fund, a $1.2 million portfolio, beat the S&P
500 index by 9 percent last year. The fund was established in 1993 and each year
pays dividends to the Dean’s Office to benefit Smith School programs. Second-year
full-time MBA students comprise the fund’s management team, two as portfolio managers
and 10 as equity analysts. In addition, a member is responsible for technology and
marketing for the fund.
