  • Investing

    Our Bruin Investment Fund exists as an open-end fund. Adopting a value-investing approach, our members rotate in different industry groups to seek out investment opportunities within each space. We meet every Wednesday to discuss the market and have a stock pitch where teams present their findings on a selected investment idea.

  • Professional Development

    We have rigorous training sessions and mentorship programs to equip members with the skills and network to succeed in different industries.

    The result is that our members move on to pursue careers in some of the top companies in the world. Some firms we have placed in include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, PJT, BlackRock, KKR & Co., TPG, BCG, Amazon and Meta. For more insights, please visit our where we've gone page.

  • Community

    Most campus organizations end with college, but not us. Our goal is to build friendships and networks that last a lifetime. Outside of meetings, we have retreats, socials and dinners to build strong relationships between Alumni and current members.

    We also believe in the importance of diversity, and we constantly seek to recruit members from different backgrounds. This provides us with a more holistic and well-rounded perspective in the organization.

Our Careers

Through practicing the fundamentals of investing and with everyone serving as your mentor, BVI members continuously attain top careers across all major fields of finance.
