Sponsored by Indiana State University
The 2024 SMIFC poster session competition will take place on Friday, March 29, 2024, at 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Tarpon room, The Westin Cape Coral resort at Marina Village in Cape Coral, FL. The poster session provides the SMIFC teams a way to display information about their SMIF including performance for 2023 year. As an incentive to participate in the poster session competition, Scott College of Business at Indiana State University will recognize and present awards for the three teams that demonstrate Posters of Excellence for outstanding performance and outstanding visual presentation. Presenters will participate in engaging their colleagues at other SMIFC schools. All presenters are responsible for bringing or delivering the posters to the conference and removing them after the conference. Posters presenters are expected to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the poster session. We encourage all SMIFC teams to participate in the poster session.
Each SMIFC-South team who plans to participate in the poster session competition is expected to send an email to Dr. Tarek Zaher at tarek.zaher@indstate.edu by 5:00 pm eastern time on March 8, 2024. Each team is also required to report their fund time weighted rate of return (TWRR) on a spread sheet and send it to Dr. Tarek Zaher along with a 12 monthly statements from the brokerage house that host their SMIF account for the period January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Most brokerage houses will have the monthly statements showing the beginning and ending balance under the "documents" or "statements link". You may download monthly statements and send it to us or fill up the attached template. If the school hosts more than one fund and is managed by different teams, up to two teams can participate in the competition. SMIFC teams can use forty-eight inches by thirty-six inches tri-fold boards to display their posters.
We will use the Sharpe ratio to measure SMIF team’s performance over the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The return used in the ratio is the time weighted return.
While we would like SMIF teams to be innovative in what to include on their posters and how to set up them up, we expect the posters to highlight among other things, the SMIF performance, history, investment policy, Investment strategies and student role in decision making process.
