Michigan Interactive Investments (MII) was founded in 1998 with the objective of educating members through interactive portfolio management. From 1998-2008, MII’s assets under management have grown to approximately $40,000. The MII portfolio primarily consists of equities and fixed income assets. In 2002, MII became an official club of the Ross School of Business; however, membership is open to any undergraduate student at Michigan. In addition to MII's primary goal of educating members on the fundamentals of investing, MII strives to offer our members the following:
- First-hand investing experience and a community through which to share ideas
- A forum to stay up-to-date with current market conditions
- An opportunity to build leadership and communication skills
- Networks in the professional world for internship and job opportunities
MII's interactive management strategy has led MII's portfolio to outperform major benchmark averages every year since its inception. MII’s financial success has allowed the organization to host numerous corporate and business presentations, including a 2006 MII-exclusive presentation with CNBC's Jim Cramer. Other achievements in the 2006-2007 year included the first annual MII stock pitch competition, in which twenty teams competed for a grand prize of two thousand dollars. The following year, MII brought a sensational year to a close with its 2nd annual stock pitch competition in addition to having managed the largest portfolio in the history of the club.
Since MII’s inception in 1998, our membership base has grown to over 300 members. As of the 2007-2008 year we were one of the largest student run investment clubs in the nation. In the fall of 2008, MII underwent a transformation, limiting membership to sixty passionate and knowledgeable individuals as to create a stronger, more cohesive club. This new structure provides members with more interactive meetings and increased involvement of our members.
By establishing a small, dedicated membership base, MII is looking forward to an exciting 2008-2009 year, as we strengthen our club and offer greater value to our members. As our development as a professional organization continues, we are committed to providing our members with real world investing experience through interactive portfolio management.
