We study the thermodynamic properties of a small superconducting metallic grain using a quantum Monte Carlo method. The grain is described by the universal Hamiltonian, containing pairing and ferromagnetic exchange correlations. In particular, we study how the thermodynamic signatures of pairing correlations are affected by the spin exchange interaction. We find the exchange interaction effects to be qualitatively different in the BCS and fluctuation-dominated regimes of pairing correlations.
