Student Managed Investment Fund

Chairman's Message

The Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) was launched in January 2008. It was then an initiative to promote financial literacy to the student body and to broaden the student’s perspective with regards to investing in the real financial world. The SMIF prides itself in giving its members the opportunity to have a practical hands-on experience in the various investment vehicles such as Equities and Funds.

Since then, the committee has grown from strength to strength. With a group of dedicated student leaders, the committee not only focuses on bringing SMIF to a higher level of recognition, but also recruits new members, especially the first year students, who are keen to contribute wholeheartedly to SMIF.

About the SMIF

The SMIF provides an opportunity for students from the various faculties such as Business, Engineering and Sciences to come together to discuss on investments. Stemming from the diverse backgrounds, experiences and views shared are always of differing angles which makes learning efficient and fruitful.

Research Process

The SMIF Committee uses a top-down approach to screen and analyze potential companies – from the economic analysis, to industry analysis and finally fundamental analysis. Technical analysis will also be used to time the market. These reports will be posted on the NTU IIC website.

The SMIF team will adopt a long term horizon with regards to investing in the Equity and Fund market.

Meetings / Seminars

The SMIF team has regular bi-weekly meetings. During these meetings, each member will present their findings for the past weeks to the entire team. Discussions will take place to reconcile the various viewpoints that may occur.

Occasionally, experts from well-known financial institutions are invited to give seminars and share their valuable experiences.

Goal

The goals of the SMIF team for 2009-2010 is to achieve the required return on investment of at least 10% and at the same time, immerse in the wealth of financial knowledge, which I believe, we will gain.

Yours sincerely,

Matthias Mar Ming Wei

Quek Ngee Poo

Ngee Poo is a 2nd year Banking and Finance student. One of the main reasons for him joining the SMIF is to constantly expose himself to the challenges of the everchanging financial markets. In his free time, he likes to play sports like basketball and hang out for drinks with his friends!

Kwan Sik Hin (Justin)

Justin is a 2nd year Accountancy and Business student specializing in Banking and Finance. He uses a mixture of both fundamental and technical analysis. Using FA, he would try to look at the industry that he is interested in investing and then try and scan for those with strong growth in EPS. And with TA, he would determine his entry timing. Despite there has been a lot of theory talking about buying near the breakout of a resistance, personally he is not too comfortable with doing that unless there is very strong buying volume. He prefers to buy near support with strong buying volume. Most of the time, he does range trading, fix his exit point and adhere to it. And he does not have the habit of queuing, so he will normally jump in at the bid or sell price at the right moment.

Luo Yuxian

Yuxian is a 2nd year Accountancy student with an avid interest in investments and socio-political systems. Currently on exchange in Canada for the fall semester, he loves interacting and learning from people of different discipline and culture. Joining the SMIF also provided him an excellent avenue to learn and be exposed to different views and thinkings. On a lighter note, he is a talented fellow, ranging from probably the world’s cheapest drunk to being the worse-ever bathroom singer. One thing he can’t do, though, is to score As in exams.

Lye RongFang
