Managing the OMBA Fund, Part A --- Managing the OMBA Fund is a public equity investing action-based learning course. In the fund, we manage a portion of the University of Michigan endowment with the goal of outperforming our benchmark index, the S&P Midcap 400. The course provides students with hands-on experience in analyzing potential public equity investments, persuading portfolio managers to invest in or divest from stocks, and manage the risk of a portfolio of public equities.
