Investure, Llc, and Smith College
UVA–F–1537 INVESTURE, LLC, AND SMITH COLLEGE In January 2004, Alice Handy's new
investment advisory firm, Investure, LLC, was attempting to land its first client, Smith College, an
elite liberal arts college located in Northampton, Massachusetts with a $913 million endowment.
Handy, fresh from her previous position as chief executive officer of the University of Virginia
Investment Management Company (UVIMCO), had 25 years of experience managing money and a
track record of success. Over her career, Handy had directed increasing amounts of funds to a class
of investments known as "alternative assets," which included a range of investments other than
publicly traded stocks and bonds. She had also developed a philosophy about ... Show more content

She also found herself involved in fundraising efforts when donations to UVa's capital campaign
involved life trusts. During the 1990s, as state support of higher education dwindled, endowment
funds took on increasing importance for UVa and other public universities. Handy's position was
restructured to enable her to dedicate more time to the investment side. The previously "lowkey"
staff and endowment both grew rapidly as Handy's team began conducting proprietary research.
Soon nearly a dozen investment professionals and five accounting and administrative staff members
were managing the endowment. In 2003, after 29 years with the university, Handy determined it was
time for a change. In July of that year, she announced her retirement as chief executive officer of
UVIMCO, leaving behind a healthy endowment and a strong record of performance. UVIMCO's
asset allocation had changed considerably during Handy's tenure, and the endowment had enjoyed
strong performance (Exhibits 1 and 2). UVa's endowment had generated an average annual return of
more than 13% since Handy's arrival and it had grown to almost $2 billion in market value (Exhibit
3). Through her years of service, Handy had developed an extensive list of contacts including
business leaders, asset managers, venture capitalists, and philanthropists.

The Madoff Affair
In the case of the Madoff Affair, there was one critical error that surpassed all others. The top
executive of this company failed to follow the ethical standards in which he was lobbying for as the
Chairman of the NASDAQ. Bernard "Bernie" Madoff was the mastermind of the operations behind
what is known as the largest stock fraud and Ponzi scheme in history (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell).
Madoff earned the trust of many individuals through his high profile positions, networking, and
legally buying and selling stock in which initially lead to success and growth of the company. After
moving his stock trading operation to the nineteenth floor of the "Lipstick Building" he recruited
several within his family to assist with running Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, such

As part of the Ponzi scheme hosted by Madoff he promised investors consistent returns on their
investment. With this promise and his position many investors were quick to place billions of dollars
in his hands. This also draws the attention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, also
known as the SEC, who somehow managed to let Madoff slip under the radar. Madoff also had
relationships with several middlemen who were responsible for encouraging other wealthy
individuals to invest in Madoff and in return these middlemen would receive a profit. Even down to
the final week before Madoff confessed and the scandal broke, investors were still pouring millions
into Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell). When an investor

Tory Burch's Vision Brought Her Success
If you take a look around campus, I can almost assure you that you will run into someone wearing a
creation from the acclaimed Tory Burch brand. Its signature t–logo medallion seems to be
everywhere. Described as a preppy–bohemian style, Tory Burch LLC designs dresses and skirts,
tunics, tops, sweaters, jackets and outerwear, pants and shorts, denims, and swimwear; and shoes,
such as boots and booties, heels, wedges, flats, slippers and loafers, sneakers, espadrilles, sandals,
and flip flops are just a few of the products that the brand markets. Recently, Tory Burch LLC has
been expanding at a fast pace, expanding its line to sell handbags, which include totes, cross–body
bags, clutches and evening bags, top handles and shoulder bags, backpacks, and mini bags; and
accessories, including wallets and wristlets, cosmetic cases, jewelry, tech accessories, sunglasses

Behind this operation is a woman known as Tory Burch. After noticing a void in the market for
affordable sophisticated American style, Burch decided to take a leap of faith and create a fashion
label that would reflect that lifestyle of preppy–boho luxury at an attainable price.

The Power Of Beauty In A & P By John Updike
Gazing at beauty does inexplicable things to the human mind, it is uncontrollable and difficult to

three girls in the grocery store. One could say, the opposite sex holds the power of desire. On a
regular day, three girls in bathing suits walk inside a grocery store called A&P. The three girls in
bathing suits brought a lot of attention with them. At a grocery store, it is very uncommon to enter a
store with a bathing suit which stirs some controversy revealing a lot of skin. One could say they did

those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of

Why Is Investing A Real Estate Investing Business?
How to Start a Real Estate Investing Business
Investing in real estate can be a profitable venture – in fact, it is one of the top investment choices in
the country. And with the right tools, anyone can be good at it – including you! Here are some tips
on investing in real estate.
Starting a Successful Real Estate Business
In order to be a successful real estate investor, it will take hard work and dedication. You may have
to try your hand at a few different options in order to figure out what comes most naturally to you –
what type of property you should invest in, how you should finance the investment, who should help
you rehab the place.

But that doesn't mean you should stop educating yourself: in fact, it is quite the opposite. Stay up to

estate you are or want to invest in. And do your research at both the local and the national level.
Create a Real Estate Investing Plan
Consider the business plan a persuasive report of sorts. Having a concrete business plan is essential,
especially if you're working with lenders. All business plans will be unique, but they all have similar
structures. A typical business plan for real estate investors includes the following:
Executive summary. This is the thesis statement of your business plan. Lenders may be attracted or
turned off by your summary, so it is highly important that you make this part of the business plan
enticing and to the point.
Company overview and services. Introduce yourself and your business. Include your experience,
location and goals here, as well as what your business does, i.e. . This is essentially the resume
section of your business plan.
Market analysis, financial plan and implementation. This is where you show your potential lenders
that you know what you're talking about. Show that you have researched your target market and its
trends, evaluated your own financial status and how you are going to work with it, and how you will

Business, Inc. LLC: Case Study
The current business has grown well with the profits for the coming year expecting to be over
$600,000. You want to increase the investment in capital assets, expand the market geographically,
and add a second factory in an adjoining state. In order to accomplish this, I recommend that the
company changes from being a sole proprietorship to a limited liability company.
This will be the best business organization structure for your company. It is a hybrid type of legal
structure that provides the limited liability features of a corporation and the tax efficiencies and
operational flexibility of a partnership.
The is no limit the members and investors to add to the business to make your financial situation
stronger when each member brings their own assets which include properties, money, and resources
together to make the company work more efficiently, be more productive, and grow rapidly. Unlike

have limited liability in the same way as the shareholders of the c– and s–corporations. They are
limited to the amount they contribute to business versus the general partnership where the partners
are equally liable. This will help lessen the stress of having all the liability that you have now.

All profits belong to the owner of the business in addition to all debts, losses, and liabilities (Small
Business Association). In order to form a sole proprietorship, a business owner must simply begin
practicing their business. There are no legal or formal actions required to form a sole proprietorship
(Malinak). In order to sustain, such a structure, one must obtain the correct licenses and permits.
These are obtained by meeting legal requirements set by the state and local government for the
applicable industry (Bloomsbury). When one is considering different business structures, they must
also consider the taxation methods of the various structures, as these methods vary. In a sole
proprietorship, the business is not taxed as a separate entity from the owner of the business as they
are considered to be the same being (Small Business Association). Now that all of the information
has been gathered on this structure, it is imperative to evaluate the advantages and the disadvantages
of this model. The advantages of a sole proprietorship are simple and low–cost formation of the
structure, complete control of business by sole owner, and low tax rates. Some disadvantages of a

The merging of Fiat Group and Chrysler group prompted the new parent holdings company Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles N.V, to establish a new corporate Headquarters in London, England. Although
the company has a new name and HQ, management ensures the company will still operate through
their two main subsidiaries: FCA US LLC and FCA Italy s.p.a. It is important to note that the new
headquarters is an addition, not a replacement. CEO Marchionne, Chairman Elkann, CFO Richard

This intentionally wide, but highly personal marketing approach lends itself to a larger customer
base and brand loyalty. Disney strategically gears advertising and products toward households of
median income and children ages 12 and under. For children, Disney provides an unparalleled
magical experience and constant entertainment. For grandparents, they witness their grandchildren
experience "the happiest place on earth", just as they had growing up. Walt Disney himself once
stated, "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway". Disney
conducts extensive research to attract their target markets, and therefore is able to create products
and entertainment that are frequently updated to appeal to new and ever–evolving consumer
interests. However, it is the parents that are perhaps the most important segment. For Disney, it is
necessary to maintain its good reputation and high standards to attract parents. Advertisements are
deliberate and calculated including emotive words like "magic", "love", and "happiness". Disney is
known for high quality goods/services, has time–legitimacy (i.e., name recognition), fair prices, safe
content, and cheerfulness. Employees are called "cast members" and visitors to the park are called

Animal health industry is relatively unaffected by recession as health care is seen as an essential part
of owning companion animals or husbandry. According to the Freedonia Group (2013), "the demand
for animal health products in the U.S. is forecast to increase 3.5% annually to $12.7 billion in 2016"
(Table 1). Especially, there is an elevated interest in products that have more of a natural profile to
substitute controversial chemicals and additives such as antibiotics.Two main causes can be
attributed to the recent increased demands in natural or nature derived products in the animal health
care sector. First, more and more customers are looking to purchase products that are natural but
work just as well for that particular indication and animal health corporations want to meet the
demands of their consumers by providing them with effective natural products. Second, most
chemical compounds of importance have been already determined and combined to manufacture a
product. Also, generic components are being produced as the chemical entities fall outside of

lowest price that the company can charge for each style and when would they break even. Since the

net inventory after the reserves. To accomplish this task, we created an excel worksheet that lists all
the items that have been assigned a percentage of reserves (Please refer to the worksheet in

After determining the amount of reserves for each shoe style, we calculated net inventory. We added

Handy, fresh from her previous position as chief executive officer of the University of Virginia Investment Management Company (UVIMCO), had 25 years of experience managing money and a track record of success. Over her career, Handy had directed increasing amounts of funds to a class of investments known as "alternative assets," which included a range of investments other than publicly traded stocks and bonds. She had also developed a philosophy about ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... She also found herself involved in fundraising efforts when donations to UVa's capital campaign involved life trusts. During the 1990s, as state support of higher education dwindled, endowment funds took on increasing importance for UVa and other public universities. Handy's position was restructured to enable her to dedicate more time to the investment side. The previously "lowkey" staff and endowment both grew rapidly as Handy's team began conducting proprietary research. Soon nearly a dozen investment professionals and five accounting and administrative staff members were managing the endowment. In 2003, after 29 years with the university, Handy determined it was time for a change. In July of that year, she announced her retirement as chief executive officer of UVIMCO, leaving behind a healthy endowment and a strong record of performance. UVIMCO's asset allocation had changed considerably during Handy's tenure, and the endowment had enjoyed strong performance (Exhibits 1 and 2). UVa's endowment had generated an average annual return of more than 13% since Handy's arrival and it had grown to almost $2 billion in market value (Exhibit 3). Through her years of service, Handy had developed an extensive list of contacts including business leaders, asset managers, venture capitalists, and philanthropists. ...

The top executive of this company failed to follow the ethical standards in which he was lobbying for as the Chairman of the NASDAQ.

After moving his stock trading operation to the nineteenth floor of the "Lipstick Building" he recruited several within his family to assist with running Bernard L.

With this promise and his position many investors were quick to place billions of dollars in his hands. This also draws the attention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, also known as the SEC, who somehow managed to let Madoff slip under the radar. Madoff also had relationships with several middlemen who were responsible for encouraging other wealthy individuals to invest in Madoff and in return these middlemen would receive a profit. Even down to the final week before Madoff confessed and the scandal broke, investors were still pouring millions into Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell). When an investor requested to withdrawal funds, he was quick to pay them with the funds invested by another individual. Madoff later admitted that he never invested any of his client's ...

  • 66. Animal Health Industry : An Essential Part Of Owning... Animal health industry is relatively unaffected by recession as health care is seen as an essential part of owning companion animals or husbandry. According to the Freedonia Group (2013), "the demand for animal health products in the U.S. is forecast to increase 3.5% annually to $12.7 billion in 2016" (Table 1). Especially, there is an elevated interest in products that have more of a natural profile to substitute controversial chemicals and additives such as antibiotics.Two main causes can be attributed to the recent increased demands in natural or nature derived products in the animal health care sector. First, more and more customers are looking to purchase products that are natural but work just as well for that particular indication and animal health corporations want to meet the demands of their consumers by providing them with effective natural products. Second, most chemical compounds of importance have been already determined and combined to manufacture a product. Also, generic components are being produced as the chemical entities fall outside of intellectual property protection. Company Background Acidophil is an intellectual property discovery and commercialization organization that has recognized core competencies in natural or nature derived products for use in agriculture.

Cost Analysis On The Company Cost Analysis On our first meeting with our sponsor, we were asked to do a cost analysis to determine what is the lowest price that the company can charge for each style and when would they break even. Since the company had taken reserves on almost all the shoe styles for Dr. Comfort, we had to determine the net inventory after the reserves. To accomplish this task, we created an excel worksheet that lists all the items that have been assigned a percentage of reserves (Please refer to the worksheet in Appendix). After determining the amount of reserves for each shoe style, we calculated net inventory. We added additional costs such as the average freight for each country and calculated a new cost per style after including all other costs ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Each unit sold after the breakeven quantity would be a profit for the company since all costs would have been covered. To accomplish this task, we used an average cost approach since that is the method used to value Dr. Comfort products. Interviews Throughout the course of this project, we met many people who were either directly involved with Dr. Comfort shoes or had years of experience on international markets. Our task was to come up with questions to ask them at each meeting to help us reach our goal. John Martin, VP of International Markets at DJO Global LLC The first person we met was John Martin. He is the Vice President of international marketing at DJO. He is not directly involved with any Dr. Comfort products. However, he does have a lot of knowledge about international markets since he is in charge of marketing other medical devices manufactured by DJO in foreign countries. When we met with him, we showed him a list of potential countries that had suitable markets for medical devices based on a list of criteria we developed. He helped us narrow down the list to Australia, Japan, North Korea, Brazil and Russia. Since we initially considered medical channels in all countries, we asked Mr. Martin which countries he would recommend that we focus on. Mr. Martin's knowledge about regulatory restrictions and registration processes helped us exclude China from the list.

In order to return to profitability rather than breaking even Mr. Sergio Marchionne the Chief Executive for Chrysler Group LLC felt that there need to be a culture change after his analysis of the company, thus he did just that. Some of the observable artifacts that I noticed was the weekly meeting that took place in a technology center that provided video teleconferencing capabilities which allowed the entire management team to telecommunicate with the executives in Italy; therefore, everyone can get on the board and share ideas to improve the company. Also, instead of taking an office in the executive tower he wanted to be closer to this room for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Chrysler is trying to be innovative and this suggest that company is trying to get workers to broaden their horizons by coming up with new ideas so that the company can be profitable for the future. Regarding the mechanisms used to change the organizational culture I see he used behavioral control by changing the work ethic as well as certain meetings that he wanted people to attend. In addition to that I see he was trying to provide his company with a sense of identity by being more forceful when he knew some changes needed to be made. As far as me working there I would, I admire a person that wants to work hard and get the job done I think people want to be a part of something and Mr. Marchionne wants the best and the brightest around him. Conclusion In closing, I can see that reviewing this case study a person can tell how one can change an organization. If Mr. Marchionne would have just let things stay the same he could have possibly been facing another bankruptcy or even another bailout from the federal government. However, if that would have happened I think the government would just had let the company fail, but he did not he took the initiative and changed the culture of the entire ...
