Occidental College Blyth Fund

Established in 1978, the Occidental College Blyth Fund is a student-run investment group that provides undergraduates with practical, real-world experience in financial analysis and portfolio management. The fund's primary mission is educational, allowing students to apply economic and financial theories by making all investment decisions for a portfolio valued at over $700,000, which is part of the college's endowment. Under the guidance of a faculty advisor, students research equities, develop investment strategies, and execute trades, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the investment industry.
