At the GW Investment Institute (GWII), we empower the next generation of investors by providing hands-on experience managing real funds and building essential skills for successful careers in finance. With over $10 million in university endowment funds under student management, we’re shaping the future of investment leaders.
Our students serve as analysts and portfolio managers for four student investment funds covering: equities, real estate, and quantitative investing. Our students:
▶ Perform equity research, develop an investment thesis, pitch stocks,
▶ Gain exposure to tools and techniques for building quant models,
▶ Learn how to utilize research tools such as: FactSet, Bloomberg,
▶ Connect with alumni and industry professionals, and
▶ Qualify to receive a financial award for stellar performance in class.
