John B. and Lillian E. Neff Trading Room

The John B. and Lillian E. Neff Trading Room at The University of Toledo's Neff College of Business and Innovation is an experiential learning environment where students apply financial and investment concepts through real-world portfolio management and disciplined financial decision-making.

In our unique Student-Managed Portfolio (SMP) class, students can manage the college's Student Investment Fund—originally a $1 million donation, now valued at $4.5 million—on behalf of the UToledo Foundation, gaining hands-on investment experience before graduation. Students also work with industry-standard financial platforms and real-time market data tools used across the finance profession to support their analysis and decision-making. 

The trading room is located in the Savage and Associates Business complex building room 3200.
