Students from any major can participate in the Brown Advisory Student-Managed Investment Fund Program and help manage an equity fund valued at over $1.5 million. Under the mentorship of an Executive in Residence and Strategic Advisor of Brown Advisory, students learn to analyze and report on stocks, and then execute trades worth tens of thousands of dollars. The program includes career preparation, presentations by visiting business leaders, and intensive work over the semester to help prepare students for a career in the investment field. Networking events and special opportunities such as attendance at shareholder meetings allow students to acquire valuable real-world knowledge.
