Spring 2025 Investment Fund
FKA's Investment Fund provides students with hands-on experience in portfolio management, equity research, and trading. The fund is structured into two divisions: an equity research arm focused on fundamental analysis and a trading arm that explores market trends and strategies.
Currently, the fund manages $20,000, with allocations across equities, and options. Short-term goals include optimizing asset allocation and conducting sector analyses, while long-term objectives focus on building a portfolio of research and learning multiple valuation styles.
