Mont Vernon Resident Earns National Championship Honors

BRISTOL, RI - With a 36.17 per-cent return on the investments managed during calendar year 2013, Christopher Reilly, a Roger Williams University senior from Mont Vernon and 20 fellow student fund managers from the Center for Advanced Financial Education (CAFE) at the University’s Mario J. Gabelli School of Business became national champions not once, but twice, last month.

In late March, four students rep-resenting the CAFE program placed first in the undergraduate core in-vestment strategy category of the student-managed portfolio com-petition at the Quinnipiac Glob-al Asset Management Education (GAME) IV Forum held in New York City. A week later, two stu-dents from CAFE grabbed top hon-ors (along with the Dragon Fund at Drexel University) in the same cate-gory at RISE 2014, the University of Dayton’s 14th annual student port-folio competition.

The two events represent the pin-nacle for the estimated 300 pro-grams nationwide that allow stu-dents to make investment decisions with real money. The competi-tive field is hardly a pushover - the GAME Forum hosted more than 1,000 students from 131 universi-ties in 21 countries; RISE 2014 drew a similar pool of student investment managers from across the globe.Mont Vernon Native Named Management Student of the Year at Stonehill College
