Join the Maverick Investment Program!
Do you want to see what it’s like to actively manage a real investment portfolio valued at over $1.6 Million? Stop by one of our meetings and see for yourself!
Program History
The Maverick Investment Program was established in 2001 when Colonel Guy M. Cloud donated $250,000 to establish the Maverick Investment Program. The goal of the fund was to give UNO students the opportunity to gain real-world experience in managing a portfolio of equity investments.
Today, the student-managed fund has grown to roughly $1.6 million dollars and continues to climb thanks to members’ investment decisions and additional donations over the years.
Students who attend meetings will be given the opportunity to hear from guest speakers, as well as get updates on current stocks in the portfolio. All students are encouraged to share their ideas and analysis of stocks they like and submit recommendations to the group for further analysis. A stock you share could become the program’s next best investment!
Why join us?
A unique learning experience: Students in the Maverick Investment Program are given the unique opportunity to decide which stocks belong in a $1 million equity portfolio. This will allow students to take the concepts they learn in the classroom and apply it the real world as they dive deeper into the finances of companies.
Exposure to different investment ideas and backgrounds: Everyone has different ideas on where they see the market shifting and they are encouraged to share them with the group.
Networking: Students will be able to hear from industry professionals as they share their experiences, as well as fellow students that are getting started in their careers.
Who can join?
ALL students at UNO. Regardless of your major, if you are interested in investing, you are welcome to come and hear from your peers and industry professionals as they talk about investing and the stock market. The student who suggests the highest performing stock receives a $1000 at the end of the year!
