History

In 2006, the Lemma Senbet Fund was founded to provide undergraduate students at the Robert H. Smith School of Business a hands-on learning experience in portfolio management and equity analysis. Modeled after the MBA student-led Mayer Fund, the Senbet Fund is comprised of a select group of senior finance majors who manage real money to provide healthy returns for the fund, while simultaneously learning invaluable lessons about the world of finance.

The Robert H. Smith School of Business is committed to the continued growth of the Senbet Fund, both through appreciation and through designated contributions. Work on the Senbet provides Maryland undergraduates with in-depth financial analysis and investment experience. The Fund also contributes to the school's national reputation for innovation and quality.

These students are competitively selected and considered to be among the top finance students in the Smith School. The rigorous application process provides candidates a preview to the intensity of the work Senbet Fund analysts and portfolio managers perform. Every spring Senbet Fund members narrow-down their selections to choose which candidates will follow them in their effort to outperform comparable equity indices.
