The suspense, according to Claire Hoeke, was a tad unnerving.<\/p>\n

Hoeke and three of her University of Tennessee at Chattanooga SMILE Fund (Student Managed Investment Learning Experience) teammates, Jacob Barber, Grant Fetters and Nick Morris, were participating in the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute Greater Tennessee Research Challenge\u2014and waiting on the announcement of the winning group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were also competing against UTK,\u201d she explained, \u201cand he said University of Tennessee and took a long pause. We were like, \u2018Either he\u2019s finishing the sentence with us, or he\u2019s done and we\u2019re all sad.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really building that suspense. Then he said, \u2018Chattanooga.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

With that proclamation, the SMILE Fund team took home top honors in the Greater Tennessee Research Challenge for a seventh consecutive year.<\/p>\n

The CFA Institute Research Challenge is an annual equity research global competition that provides hands-on mentoring and intense training in financial analysis and professional ethics. University teams, typically comprised of graduate students\u2014as opposed to the UTC all-undergrad squad\u2014analyze a company\u2019s financial health, document it in a professional research report and submit findings to a panel of judges.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s SMILE Fund team of Gary W. Rollins College of Business students will now compete in the sub-regional round. Winning groups from the local competitions across the Southeast will produce recorded videos for a different set of judges.<\/p>\n

Teams advancing from the sub-regionals to the regional semifinals will be announced at the end of March.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is first and foremost a victory for these four students,\u201d said Dr. Hunter Holzhauer, a Robert L. Maclellan and UC Foundation associate professor of finance and director of the SMILE Fund. \u201cI choose the best students to be in the SMILE Fund. I then choose the best SMILE Fund students to be on our CFA Research Challenge team. I call it the Nerd Olympics for a reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, these students did not win on pure talent. They won this competition by working hard. There were a lot of long nights in the Bloomberg Lab that turned into long mornings. The last two months have been very time-intensive. The competition spans two semesters and they have each invested hundreds of hours at this point. Not one of them has complained. I was extremely impressed with their dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoeke, a junior majoring in finance (investments track) from Greeneville, Tennessee, is vice president of operations for the SMILE Fund and one of the organization\u2019s chief analysts. She also works part-time at Patten and Patten, Inc., a Chattanooga investment advising firm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the ability to work in the SMILE Fund set us up for the CFA,\u201d she said. \u201cWorking with the CFA Challenge, you get exposure to Ray Ryan, who is our industry mentor and the CEO of Patten and Patten. It just sets you up for success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holzhauer said Ryan knows how to challenge the students and encourage them to be better analysts.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis wealth of industry experience and his penchant for demanding quality have been catalysts for the SMILE Fund students and the CFA Research Challenge students for nearly a decade,\u201d Holzhauer said. \u201cI have watched as countless students under Ray\u2019s tutelage have grown to not only become better-educated analysts but also become more mentally tough and\u2014as we say in the RCOB\u2014real-world ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four SMILE Fund members analyzed HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA), a Nashville-based for-profit operator of health care facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way it works is each region is given a specific company and everyone researches it. The judges all have insights into that company,\u201d explained Barber, a senior majoring in finance (investments track) and the SMILE Fund\u2019s chief health care analyst.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just worked out that HCA is a health care company and I was already working on things in the health care industry. It was very helpful because I already knew some of the metrics that hospital companies and others in the health care space were getting measured by.\u201d<\/p>\n

A graduate of Hixson High School, he initially went to the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a pre-med major. Barber said after realizing that was not the career he wanted to pursue, he took some time to figure things out before landing at UTC to focus on an investment path.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really had no idea about the SMILE Fund until my third semester here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Barber has since landed an internship at Patton Albertson & Miller, an independent financial life management firm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found out how incredible the SMILE Fund is and how impactful it can be for your future career,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was honestly very lucky for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fetters, a native of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, is pursuing majors in both accounting and finance. He said taking classes in both disciplines gave him a unique perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cNick being an accounting major, we could bounce ideas off of each other from the accounting side, and I could talk to Claire and Jacob about the finance side,\u201d said Fetters, the SMILE Fund\u2019s lead analyst in the consumer discretionary sector. \u201cIt\u2019s been great being able to have the opportunity to work with my fellow students, go in the Bloomberg Lab and throw ideas off of each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got it to where our paper and presentation sounded in one voice, and that collaborative work helped a lot. We all had different thoughts and ideas of what we thought about the company and merged all of them together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fetters said he likes being a double major because it gives him career choices down the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I want to focus completely on finance, I have the opportunity to do that,\u201d he said, \u201cand with the economy, who knows if I could get a job in finance post-graduation. Accounting has job security, so doing both allows me to maneuver.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a double major creates a clearer picture and provides a bridge in both fields.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris, a junior accounting major from Alpharetta, Georgia, joined the SMILE Fund for the spring 2022 semester. He remembered his early days with the group and thinking, \u201cNo way,\u201d while watching last year\u2019s winning CFA team of Luke Johnson, Nicole Brill and Logan W.E. Painter analyze Tractor Supply Company.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing into this past fall semester, I wasn\u2019t originally one of the students Dr. H had pulled to be on the team. However, one student dropped out and I got my opportunity,\u201d Morris said. \u201cI knew from watching last year\u2019s Tractor Supply team that the reason UTC wins this thing is that we\u2019ve got a process where we just outwork all the other teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight before the report was due and before our presentation, we\u2019d be up in the lab until midnight, 1 a.m., just finalizing everything and making sure that our arguments were solid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris said an advantage SMILE Fund students have is the opportunity to present at investment strategy meetings before finance department faculty and area business experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresenting in front of industry professionals, there\u2019s an intimidation factor to it,\u201d he said, \u201cbut that is the reason we worked so hard to make sure that we were correct and our arguments were solid.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said College of Business faculty members told the group that winning wasn\u2019t the most important thing\u2014even though the team had won six years in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were told, \u2018The most important thing was that we go out there and work hard and deliver a great product,\u2019\u201d Morris related, \u201cbut I\u2019m sure the other students will say this as well: We felt pressure to keep the streak alive. When they announced that we had won, there was definitely a feeling of relief. We\u2019re not the ones that broke the streak; we got it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Barber, \u201cThis is such a prestigious event and competition to be a part of, so there\u2019s pressure from that. But we also put a little pressure on ourselves because we wanted to continue that streak. Having been a part of the team that was able to continue that streak and make it seven years in a row, there aren\u2019t words to describe how happy we were once we heard the news.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
