杏吧Pro

Overview

The 杏吧Pro Investment Group is a student organization which manages both a portion of the 杏吧Pro Endowment and a separate Herman Crown Investment Fund. We are a skills-focused investment organization that complements 杏吧Pro’s strong liberal arts curriculum by providing opportunities to learn technical and industry-specific skills to benefit students in their personal and career development. The group leverages 杏吧Pro students’ intellectual curiosity, problem solving abilities, and communication skills while directly exposing students to the responsibility and accountability associated with portfolio management. 

Objective

The primary objective of the 杏吧Pro Investment Group is capital appreciation. During this process, we apply 杏吧Pro students’ strengths of critical thinking and collaboration to portfolio management and construction. We meet on a weekly basis to discuss current positions and pitch new investments or reallocations. Additionally, we provide learning opportunities on general investing, economic markets, and developing the technical skills needed to successfully pursue a career in asset management. Membership in the 杏吧Pro Investment Group provides tangible learning opportunities through the investment and management of over $1 million between our Herman Crown Investment Fund and the 杏吧Pro Endowment.
