The SMILE Fund is a learning opportunity for students here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Students at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business manage the fund, a real stock portfolio like a mutual fund at an investment firm - for a real client: the UC Foundation.

Arie Veltenaar is a client ambassador for Acumen Wealth Advisors here in Chattanooga, which works with the SMILE Fund and the Rollins College.

Luke Johnson - a recent UTC grad - is an investment analyst at Acumen.
