The McIntire Investment Institute (MII) is an entirely student-run, long/short equity fund with over $1 million in assets under management (AUM) at the University of Virginia.[1] Founded in 1994 by an endowment established by "Tiger Cub" John Griffin of Blue Ridge Capital, this Institute operates as a non-profit under the McIntire Foundation. The McIntire Investment Institute is the premier and largest undergraduate investment club at the University of Virginia.[2]

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.[3]

Organization

MII's investment decisions are entirely student-driven. The Institute's membership currently consists of 9 executive board members, approximately 20-25 associates, and approximately 70-80 analysts. Portfolio teams are composed of a portfolio manager, an associate, and 3-4 analysts. Throughout the semester, each portfolio team will work to come up with a long or short investment pitch.
