About
A hedge fund process, on campus.
FHFG was founded to bring the hedge fund investment process to Fairfield University: real research, long and short theses, committee debate, and simulated portfolio decisions.
From classroom to investment decisions.
Members apply classroom knowledge through sector research, written theses, and investment discussions. Analysts develop both long and short perspectives and defend their ideas.
Research continues between monthly meetings. Pitches lead to committee discussion, simulated portfolio decisions, monitoring, and review.
Hedge fund investing is broader than selecting stocks. Ideas can be long or short, event-driven, relative value, or macro-driven, and every position carries risk that has to be managed at the portfolio level. FHFG treats these frameworks as skills to be practiced with real research and a simulated portfolio.
Research, participation, and simulation.
Simulated portfolio
We do not report returns, AUM, or track records. The portfolio is simulated and educational.
Active participation
Members produce work: coverage, models, memos, and pitches that get challenged.

Every major and every experience level. Prior investing experience is not required.
