Students from UT Martin’s TVA Investment Challenge Program participated in the annual Student-Managed Investment Fund Consortium (SMIFC) Conference held in Chicago on Oct. 9-10. During the conference, the students presented their student-managed investment portfolio in the poster competition, highlighting the UTM Tennessee Valley Authority Fund’s annual performance, portfolio holdings, investment allocation and investment philosophy. Throughout the event, students engaged with competition judges, fellow participants from other universities and industry professionals, discussing portfolio strategies and fielding questions about their investment approach and results. Pictured are (l-r) Charlie Deal, a junior finance major from Union City; Hope Binkley, a junior finance and accounting major from Kingston Springs; Dr. Mahmoud Haddad, professor of finance; Samantha George, a senior finance major from Union City; and Kayla Potete, a graduate student from Waynesboro.
