Students. Investors. Leaders. Philanthropists.
The UCSD Student Foundation Investment Committee is a group of brilliant, ambitious students who manage UCSD’s $540,000 endowment fund. Our members come from a plethora of backgrounds both academically and geographically, encompassing a wide spectrum of majors that spans from economics and political science to applied mathematics and biotechnology, and a mixture of ethnicities covering Asia, both Americas, and Europe. Our multifarious make-up allows us to bring a unique, pool of talent that draws synergies from an unparalleled diversity of channels to our investment practice.
The $540,000 endowment fund we manage belongs to the greater UCSD Student Foundation, a student-run, philanthropic organization that raises money for student scholarships. Every year, a portion of our portfolio returns is allocated to scholarships for incoming UCSD freshmen and transfer students. Our performance allowed us to give out $30,000 worth of scholarships in 2014.
Our committee of about thirty members is divided in five groups, each covering a specific market sector. Current sectors covered include: Technology, Consumer Cyclical, Healthcare, Oil and Gas, and Industrials and Consumer Defensive. This triangulation allows our analysts to specialize in specific industries, thereby harnessing comparative advantage and achieving superior analysis. This also allows our members to develop deep insight into one or two specific sectors, making them exceptional experts at their chosen industries.
