Applied Security Analysis Program
- Applied Security Analysis Program
The Applied Security Analysis Program (ASAP) is an investment program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business. It was founded in 1970 by Professor Stephen L. Hawk and has been managed by Professor Mark Fedenia since 1986. Beginning with $100,000 in 1970, students enrolled in the ASAP now manage over $43 million in equities, REITs, and fixed-income assets. Approximately 500 students have graduated from the ASAP.
History
The ASAP was founded in 1970 through a $100,000 grant from the Brittingham Foundation. The gift was used to create a student-managed equity fund in which students make all investment decisions. Through additional gifts and earnings, the equity portfolio has grown to approximately $2.0 million, which consists of a long-only and a long-short fund.
In 1998, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents allocated $10 million of the UW System's Intermediate Term Fund to the ASAP students. The additional assets dramatically increased both the size and complexity of the fixed-income fund. The students now manage three fixed-income portfolios totaling approximately $40 million.
In 1999, the Stephen L. Hawk Center was endowed following a successful $3 million fund raising campaign. Also in 1999, the ASAP incorporated a $500,000 (now over $1 million) REIT portfolio in a cooperative venture with the Real Estate department.
