Reinhold P. Lamb

My career spans working in financial analysis, business ownership, and over 25 years of teaching finance.  Most of my academic work involves the study of how markets interpret and value information.  The types of information I have explored include natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, Homeland Security Threat Level changes, insider trading around FDA announcements, calendar anomalies, and a variety of sports-related efficiency studies involving the NFL, Major League Baseball, English soccer, and baseball cards.  My work has been published in over 30 journals including Journal of Derivatives, Financial Review, Journal of Risk Management and Insurance, and Journal of Investing.  Some of my research has also been featured  on CNBC, CNN and in The Washington Post and several other media.

I designed and direct the Student Management Investment Fund (Osprey Financial Group) which is a special program that enables a select group of students to manage part of the UNF Endowment.  The program began in 2002 with a gift of $500,000 from Jody and Layton Smith, and has grown to over $1,000,000.  OFG also has a trading room that gives the students access to the same resources that professionals have to do research in managing a portfolio.  Eight workstations and various databases - including Bloomberg and Black Diamond's Advent and Blue Sky statistical software - provide students with the marketable skills to obtain high level positions in investment firms after graduation.
