Advisory Committee

Meet the professionals who power our Advisory Committee.

The Advisory Committee advises the students and faculty on their investment policies. The Advisory Committee holds two formal meetings each year, one in the spring and one in the fall.

 

The Fund's Directors, Advisors, and Student Portfolio Managers assist the fund on an uncompensated basis. No management fee is assessed to the investors by the Fund. However, operating and administrative costs associated with the Fund are charged to the Fund's investors.
