The McIntire Investment Institute (MII) is an entirely student-run long-short equity fund at the University of Virginia, one of the largest in the nation. With a portfolio currently valued at approximately $600,000, the MII operates as a nonprofit organization under the McIntire Foundation. The Institute strives to achieve real capital appreciation through a variant perception of the market.
MII's investment decisions are entirely student-driven. The club’s membership currently consists of 5 managing officers, 4 general managers, 9 associates, 45 analysts, and approximately 70 members. Manager Officer elections are held in December every year, while Manager elections are held every semester.
History
The McIntire Investment Institute was first conceived by McIntire alumnus John Griffin (COMM, ’85 and President, Blue Ridge Capital). Mr. Griffin donated $1,000,000 to the University in 1993; $575,000 was earmarked for a student-run investment organization. An initial $100,000 was made available to the students in October 1994, and an additional $200,000 was allocated to the fund in 2000. The Institute has since donated $150,000 of its gains, including $75,000 in April 2006 to the new McIntire building on the Lawn.[1][2]
