Learn by managing a $1M+ investment portfolio

The Brown Investment Group is Brown’s premier student-run investment fund. Founded in 1987, the Brown Investment Group is both the oldest and largest investment club on campus. We are dedicated to both teaching and practicing the principles of investing. We are composed of a highly selective research committee of 35 students and general body of over 500 students.

We manage two separate funds — our Core (long-only) Fund with $900K+ AUM (est. in 2002) and our Long/Short Fund with $100K+ AUM (est. in 2023). Our Long/Short Fund is the first ever student-run, university-endorsed long/short fund in the nation. Our two funds provide the flexibility necessary to generate a diverse array of investment theses, from classic value strategies to short-term, catalyst-driven opportunities.

Core Values

We are proud that collaboration is a key part of our operations. Whether through teamwork on our pitches or general body discussions, our members and leadership value the cooperative spirit of the club.

 At BIG we believe that the most valuable way to learn is through hands-on experience. We hope to provide our members this exposure by executing real trades and monitoring our fund’s performance, giving students some insight into the equity investing process.
