Far fewer MBA aspirants are aware of the  tremendous opportunities Anderson provides to students interested in  investment management. Established in 1987, the Anderson Student  Investment Fund (SIF) offers a limited-enrollment course that provides  students with a hands-on opportunity to apply what they have learned  about investment theory. Students must apply for the opportunity to  manage this portfolio, valued at more than $2M, as one of the 10\u201312 SIF Fellows by submitting an essay and participating in two rounds of panel  interviews. Then, those selected&#8212;now in the role of SIF Fellows&#8212;engage in investment  strategy, asset allocation and security analysis for more than 18  months and explore both value and growth approaches to equity  investments, as well as fixed income investments. SIF Fellows get together  weekly during the academic year, meet once a month with the Faculty Oversight Committee and visit more than 30 investment professionals  throughout the course of their tenure to learn about different  investment philosophies. Fellows also receive assistance in securing  summer internships in the investment management industry. Those  interested in a career in investment management should give Anderson a  closer look.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on\u00a0UCLA-Anderson\u00a0or\u00a013 other leading MBA programs, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.mbamission.com\/collections\/insider-s-guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mbaMission Insider\u2019s Guides<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many acknowledge UCLA Anderson\u2019s unique connections to the media and entertainment industry.
