student managed portfolio
Established in August 2006 with an initial $1 million from the UT Foundation, the Student Managed Portfolio (SMP) has grown to a value of over $4 million. Aligned with the investment philosophy of UToledo College of Business and Innovation benefactor, John Neff, the SMP focuses on large-cap domestic securities within the Russell 1000 Value Index, employing bottom-up fundamental analysis. Managed by students, the portfolio emphasizes stocks with low Price/Earnings and Price/Book ratios, strong dividend yield, solid financials and promising long-term growth prospects. Each quarter, the student team presents the fund's performance to the Joint University of Toledo/University of Toledo Foundation Investment Committee.
Neff Trading Room
The facility was financed by a generous $1 million donation by Mr. and Mrs. Neff. Students benefit from the Trading Room through interactive courses of study using real and delayed-time information from the NYSE, NASDAQ and Chicago Board and Trade. The trading room is located in the Savage and Associates Business Complex building (SB 3200).
