The College of Business Student Investment Group is a student-driven organization that provides students with hands-on investing experience. By providing access to real funds, the fund enhances students’ knowledge of investing, risk, and portfolio management while developing their stewardship mindset and leadership skills. Participation in the organization better prepares students for careers in finance-related fields and extends the influence of the College of Business to future students, employers, and the community.
Over the last year, members of the Student Investment Group conducted market research, generated investment proposals, and initiated the first trades for the investment fund. As we grow the fund corpus, we will continue to search for high quality investments and prioritize long-term capital appreciation to build future scholarships for the College of Business.
“The LCU Student Investment Group offers a unique opportunity that is not seen in the typical classroom learning environment. The unique opportunity lies in the collaborative nature and responsibility we must carry with managing real money on behalf of the university. My involvement with LCU’s Student Investment Group has significantly contributed to my personal development as a student. We want to enhance students’ confidence with financial literacy and prepare them for future careers, whether that career is in finance or not.”
“Being a leader in the Student Investment Group has been an enriching experience. Trael and I have been actively involved from the beginning, helping to formulate the investment policy, lead meetings, and drive investment decisions. It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to collaborate with other students and talk at length about something I’m so interested in. It has been gratifying to see more students gain interest as the Group has taken shape over the last year, and it’s exciting to watch the Group continue to grow. Being a part of LCU’s Student Investment Group has enriched my time at the university, and I have no doubt it will be a valuable experience for me as I move out into the professional world.”
