How Do We Invest?

Each year's fund is held uninterrupted for 25 years. After that, the fund is liquidated, with half of the proceeds going into the next available fund and the other half directly funding scholarships for UVA students. Our hope is that through our work, one day every student who attends UVA will have an education fully funded through this investment club.

The GFSIF offers every member a chance to actively manage a real investment fund and contribute to scholarships for future UVA students. This hands-on experience is invaluable, as it allows members to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, enhancing their understanding of financial markets, while building a brighter future for our university.
