Trading Room

This room of the Center is a replica of a Wall Street trading room where UT graduate students manage The MBA Investment Fund, L.L.C., the only private investment fund to be managed by students. As of June, 2003, the Fund has about $11 million invested by 48 accredited investors under securities laws.  The hardware, software and data feeds at the Center enable these students to research copanies as prospective investments using the same information services that professional money managers rely on, and to manage the Fund's assets in a realistic enviroment that emulates Wall Street.  

A portion of the Center is home to the MBA Investment Fund.  Graduate students manage three multimillion-dollar funds from the Center’s trading and boardrooms.  These facilities emulate a professional money managers work environment.  Student managers rely on the same data feeds, software and video conferencing capabilities as their Wall Street counterparts.
