Program Coursework
Get involved with a variety of investing strategies as analyst, ranging from researching event-driven and early-stage IPO plays to finding outperforming sectors and companies to own for the long-term. Prior investment experience isn’t required; you can start out as an analyst and then take a role leading your peers.
Courses
The Reveille courses:
- FINC 485
- FINC 685
Students will be responsible for managing the portfolio in its entirety by:
- analyzing and selecting individual securities based on general economic conditions and the specific characteristics of the companies
- monitoring the portfolio performance (characteristics, best/worst performing securities, etc.)
- reporting results and rationales for portfolio selection to UTIMCO personnel
Students also will visit with portfolio managers of top-level investment management firms who manage funds for UTIMCO; a perfect method to improve the students’ analysis processes.
The Reveille courses are heavily focused on research and managing money under the conditions one would encounter in managing a portfolio “in the real world”. Guidelines are specified (as one would expect when managing a client portfolio) and, of course, there is “friendly competition” between the Longhorn Fund and the Reveille Fund to see which fund can provide the best results.
