Investment Strategy
Michigan Interactive Investments utilizes a multi-faceted investment strategy, involving both fundamental and quantitative analysis, to invest in equities, options, and fixed income instruments. MII is one of the few investing organizations on campus with an open mandate to invest across all asset classes and industries. MII is also uniquely structued as an absolute return fund: foucsing on risk adjusted returns through long/short exposure rather than benchmarking to an index. We take a disciplined approach to investing, focused on a medium-term outlook for attractive returns while preserving capital. To that effect, we primarily use a bottom-up approach to source investment ideas: looking for market disconnects through embracing complex situations and developing original views on underfollowed names. Additionally, we supplement this fundamental approach to investment selection with technical analysis to identify appropriate entry and exit points for our positions and use risk management and hedging techniques to balance our portfolio. Our investments can be placed into the following three categories:

About the Fund
The MII portfolio was created with initial funding of $20,000 to provide members with an interactive portfolio management experience. The MII portfolio’s purpose is to provide Michigan students interested in finance with a hands-on investing experience. MII is the only student-managed fund at the University of Michigan with an open mandate to trade across our three strategies in a variety of asset classes. Students gain unique experience investing in equities, fixed income, currencies, and other alternative assets. Participation is open to undergraduate students, who have a passion for investing and a desire for continuing participation. We aim high to be the best performing student-run fund in the country on a risk-adjusted basis.
