Marquette AIM Class of 2018 Off to Solid Start
The AIM students in the Class of 2018 are off to a nice start since they began managing the three portfolios on April 1, 2017. The Small Cap Fund is nearly 300 bps above the benchmarks and the International Equity Fund is matching the S&P ADR Index (it is underperforming largely because of the weaker US Dollar). The AIM Fixed Income Fund is lagging the benchmark as rates have not risen at the level expected by the students.
