About
Minerva Women's Fund, Inc. is an independent, real money fund associated with the Investment arm of Columbia Smart Woman Securities. After years of demonstrated performance through our virtual portfolio, we officially established our real money fund in Spring 2018.
The purpose of our fund is two-fold:
-
To achieve the highest possible compounded growth
-
To provide real-world investing education for our members

The fund is managed by the investment team in Columbia Smart Woman Securities. The Investment Team consists of 1) the Board of Directors, 2) the Investment Board, who make investment decisions for the fund, and 3) the Portfolio Analyst Team, who conduct detailed analyses on stocks from Research Analyst pitches and individual research. All affiliates of the fund have received extensive training through both the Seminar Series and Research Analyst Programs. We select only the most competitive and qualified candidates to manage the fund.
