Abstract:

Recognizing that traditional textbook and lecture presentations are insufficient, many universities have adopted student-managed investment funds. For five years, the author taught the course taken by students managing the student-directed Spellman Portfolio, at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. This was not a student-managed investment portfolio in the tradition sense, because investment decisions were filtered through the CBA Investment Advisory Board (IAB). This group of professional financial managers had ultimate decision-making authority, making a unique study of expert decision making possible. This report presents the investment policy employed and findings of this investigation and the incremental benefits of expert advice.
