I know Cornell has the Cayuga MBA Fund that allows students to trade with real money, but I just want to know if any other top schools have this?

Darden has a Capital Management club which manages about $6MM of the school endowment in 4 funds. The 4 funds each have different objectives (growth, small cap, international, etc.) Each fund has it's own group of managers so more people can get involved. Also, members of the club can pitch stocks and ideas to the managers so 1st years can get involved as well.

McCombs has a big one. I think a lot of schools have student run funds. Not many of them tout it as much as the others.

I know here at Iowa there is one for Undergraduate students called the Krause Fund. Not sure about MBA program here at Tippie, but you would think that they would if they do for undergraduates.

A google search on "MBA Student Managed Fund" returned:

UPenn (Wharton)
Yale SOM
University of Georgia (Terry)
Penn State (Smeal)
Michigan (Ross)
Tulane (Freeman)
Purdue (Krannert)
SMU (Cox)
Maryland (Smith)
Indiana (Kelley)
Wisconsin-Madison
Rice (Jones)

Other notables include: William & Mary, Baylor, UConn, Villanova, UNC Charlotte.

Some are student-managed portfolios (mix of asset classes), others are portions of the university endowment, or VC funds. Hope this helps...

Haas just got a grant for a socially responsible student fund. Also, I think we'll have a regular one by spring.

There was discussion of this last season....I didn't pay much attention b/c it isn't my thing, but I think they were saying that some of these programs are more valuable than others. You might see if you can find it.
