Who We Are
The AIM Investment Center unifies financial support, information resources, and intellectual capital in support of those who teach and learn, those who further knowledge in the field through research, and those who enhance the practice of investment management.We prepare MBA and BBA graduates who can walk into the world of finance, investment, and capital markets with confidence and trustworthiness.
What We're Fundraising For
The AIM Investment Center was an early pioneer in experiential investment education, created through a generous endowment given by two founders of the AIM Management Group: Gary Crum and Bob Graham. These individuals and 63 employees of the AIM Management Group donated to support the Financial Education and Research Center's Trading Room where the Texas McCombs Investment Advisers, student managers, trade.
Your Impact
The Texas McCombs Investment Advisers is a groundbreaking program that allows a select group of McCombs MBA students to manage an actual investment fund with real-world responsibility for returns and performance working in collaboration with investors at UTIMCO. The funds received through your generous gifts help maintain the technology and databases used in the trading room to make the student managers' experience as as innovative and current as possible. The funds will also support their student activities such as participating in case competitions, which will enhance their presentation skills, traveling on treks to visit investment firms and banks. These treks will give the students the exposure to executives' experiences and knowledge and will establish relationships for future employment possibilities. All this will culminate in graduating students who will go into the world of finance, investment, and capital markets with confidence and trustworthiness.
