Student-managed Investment Fund

In the Student-managed Investment Fund (SMIF), Lynchburg students manage a $100,000 investment fund and gain real-world financial market experience. They use the Bloomberg Terminal and other tools and can become Bloomberg-certified at no additional cost. Initiated by Cole Barrett ’17 and Zack Engelmann ’17, the Student-managed Investment Fund is designed to offer lasting educational benefits and career advantages, providing students with practical market knowledge and an impressive resume builder. Graduates from the program have gone on to work with top financial firms like Standard & Poor’s and Aegon USA. 

“I gained applicable knowledge to my field, but I also gained an interesting story to tell recruiters. I got to describe something that I was passionate about. That was certainly the most valuable.” — Cole Barrett ’17

The Critograph

The weekly newspaper of the University of Lynchburg is created and managed entirely by students.
