Johnson Investment Institute

The Johnson Investment Institute’s mission is to build an ecosystem of students, alumni, faculty and practitioners that elevates the Lindner College of Business as a recognized center for investment theory and practice and creates exceptional experiential learning opportunities for students.

Thanks to the generosity of Timothy (Tim) Johnson, PhD, and his wife, Janet, Lindner is home to the institute and the Johnson Investment Counsel Investment Lab.

Enabling student success: Inspire, prepare and connect students to launch and excel in investment careers through enhanced curricular programs, co-op opportunities and connections with industry professionals.

Building partnerships: We aim to make the institute, Lindner and UC a valued hub for investment leaders in the Cincinnati region while elevating our reputation nationally through strategic partnerships and community engagement.

Student resources: Students have access the Johnson Investment Counsel Investment Lab, Bloomberg Terminals and FactSet.

Private Capital Accelerator: Launching in Fall 2025, this program supplies skills-based education, interview preparation and co-op opportunities to students seeking careers in investment banking, private equity and related fields.
