Introduction
I first learned of student managed investment funds (SMIFs) while I was working at the Scott College of Business at Indiana State University.
Even after I retired, I retained an interest in these organizations and have kept a list of them updated.
A Short History of SMIFs
The first SMIFs were created in the 1940s. As far as can be determined, the first was founded in 1946 at Lafayette College, Easton, PA. The US military assigned Officer John Tarbell to give basic investing tips to veterans returning from Europe to America after World War II. Tarbell was a finance professor before joining the Army and the veterans needed the advice as many were born in the Great Depression and were afraid of the markets.
Several veterans were so grateful to Tarbell that they gifted him $3,000 to start an investment club at Lafayette College, a small liberal arts school in Pennsylvania, where he returned to teaching finance full-time after his military service.
Since then over 600 have been formed in the US, with more being formed in non-US universities. Some high schools now also have their own SMIFs.
SMIFs are experinetial. They give the students an understanding of how the markets work, how to spot trends, create portfolios, research investment opportunities and much more. They have been so successful several universites have created business incubators, venture capital, and reality funds.
There is a large variance between the SMIFs; how much they manage, how they are organized, which students are eligible to manage them, their governance, and how actively they manage their accounts. Some SMIFs are run as a single finance class, others are open to to any student of any major across the entire higher education institution. Students of some SMIFs make reommendations to their governing body before any transactions take place, others are entirely responsible for the management of theirs. Many SMIFs are managing part of their Foundations funds, others were started by donations, either by a single indvidual or from a group, at least one is funded by an individual giving the SMIF an interest-free annual loan, the principle being repaid and any profit being kept by the SMIF. Some are run as investment companies and use their client's money. Several SMIFs use any profit accrued to fund scholarships or putting it into their college's general fund.
This List
Other people have created lists of the various SMIFs such as Walter Neely and Philip Cooley (2003), William and Penelope Jennings (2006), Kent Saunders (2008), Edward Lawrence (2008), Christopher Kubik (2016), Peter R. Crabb, Jacob Booker, and Kyle James (2018), Intentional Endowments Network (2021)
This web survey has several shortcomings. The information was gathered from the web pages of the various institutions and those, like the SMIFs themselves, are very variable. Although some sites contain a wealth of information including up to date quarterly and annual reports, others contain no information about their SMIF other than they have one, while others do not appear to have been updated for several years and it may be that their SMIF has been dissolved.
The Statistics
The statistics in the tables below were calculated using only the values that are known.
Year Formed
Amount under Management
Growth of the SMIFs
The number of SMIFs that have been created per decade from 1950 to today.
The Size of the Funds
The range of the size of the funds and the number of colleges that hold them.
The column "< $250,000" for example includes SMIFs that hold between $100,000 (the column to the left) and $249,999.
NB: The x-axis scale is not linear.
The SMIFs
A Google Sheet that was created for this survey is open to inspection and contains the findings of Jennings, Saunders and Lawrence as well as the web pages visited.
I have also created a map showing both US and non-US SMIFs throught the world.
