We describe the reasons for implementing a SMIF and the benefits it offers relative to traditional simulation approaches. We outline the necessary steps for starting a SMIF and explain its organizational structure. We discuss a SMIF’s operation and main activities, which include recruitment, training, trading, and interaction with the client and alumni. The implications of participating in a SMIF are reviewed within a cost-benefit framework.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalCommodity investingCommodity marketing educationExperiential learningStudent-managed investment fundsArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1017/aae.2019.33521
