Course Description

Managing the Maize and Blue REIT Fund (MBRF) provides students with a hands-on opportunity to
develop practical investing skills by managing a $1,000,000 long portfolio. The course begins by
establishing a strong foundation in REIT fundamentals, including their unique characteristics as an
investment vehicle and valuation methodologies. Students then apply this knowledge by researching and
pitching U.S. listed REITs, Real Estate Operating Companies (REOCs), and homebuilders for potential
inclusion in the MBRF portfolio.
