 Mayer Fund Appears on
CNBC
The Smith School MBA students who
managed the Mayer Fund last year
appeared on CNBC, during the "Power
Lunch" program on Jan. 22, 2003. The
segment was broadcast live from outside
the New York Stock Exchange. The MBA
students were in New York City as part
of an annual trip to meet with Wall
Street professionals.
During their appearance on CNBC, the
students discussed several of the fund's
favorite stocks, and talked about the
Mayer Fund. Rose Cohen, one of the
portfolio managers, discussed Symantec (SYMC).
Jennifer Graham, the fund's
telecommunications analyst, discussed
CenturyTel (CTL). Filip Liharik, the
fund's health care analyst, discussed
Novartis (NVS). CNBC's own analysts
agreed that these three stocks were good
picks.
The Mayer Fund was started in 1993
with $250,000 and grew to over
$1,000,000 in 2001. The fund is run by a
select group of second-year MBA students
who comprise a management team of three
portfolio managers, nine equity analysts
and a marketing specialist.
Mayer Fund managers also appeared on
Power Lunch during their New York visit
in January 2002. (see story)
