The Learner-Managed Investment Fund and Portfolio Management program is designed to provide learners with hands-on experience in performing investment research, investing capital, and managing a portfolio during studies in Tekedia Institute.
In the academic component, the program prepares learners to master the institutional structure, and fundamental concepts of asset valuation, in financial markets, using analytical tools to study the valuation of different types of securities. Fundamentally, learners are equipped to understand investment theory, portfolio development and management.
In the practical laboratory component, learners evaluate individually, and in groups, existing portfolio compositions and past performances, generate new investment ideas, research new opportunities, and make recommendations, based on quantitative and qualitative analyses. These recommendations are further voted on, after the groups have presented them to the whole class. Subsequently, the recommended securities are purchased with real money in the Nigeria and US capital markets.
The program is divided into core four phases – Investment Fundamental and Tools, Laboratories and Research, Investment Execution, and Lessons Learned. The first edition will begin on March 6, 2023 for 12 weeks (covers the first three phases), and about 6 months later, the learners will reconvene, for another 3 weeks (covers the last phase).
A total of US$50,000 has been earmarked to kickstart this program which combines typical traditional academic objectives with the practical demands of hands-on investment management. In each program edition, a total of $5,000 will be invested in both US dollars and Nigerian Naira. All proceeds will go to Tekedia CollegeBoost scholarship general fund.
