Students can apply to take an experiential course in which they put their different skills to work managing a slice of the NYU endowment.
Course Description:
In this two-semester course (FINC-GB.6020, admission by application only), students manage a dedicated portion of the NYU endowment, through the Michael Price Student Investment Fund (MPSIF). Students are split into sub-funds with dedicated investment styles and assets classes, and are responsible for all aspects of fund management, including macro and micro market analysis, sourcing and analyzing investment ideas, and risk and portfolio management. It is intended as a capstone for students interested in careers in investment management, through which students can apply concepts from their other coursework to actual investing. Students that have focused on one of the areas above are particularly encouraged to apply, and they will be assigned to a fund that aligns with their focus.
