STUDENT-RUN EQUITY FUND AT VSB
The Wildcat Fund is a student-run equity fund that provides a unique hands-on learning experience for VSB students pursuing careers in financial services, specifically sales & trading, investment banking, and asset management. As a member of the Wildcat Fund, students apply what they learn in class and engage in analytical decision-making, teamwork, entrepreneurship and leadership.
A team of approximately 35 students oversee every aspect of this $1 million socially responsible, long-only, equity fund.
