Haas Sustainable Investment Fund

2 credits · Graduate

In this course, students manage a real investment fund ($3 million +) focused on both social and financial returns. Through the Fund, students have the opportunity to test the investment and corporate responsibility principles they have learned in the classroom, and to experience the complexities, challenges, and rewards of the investing world. Students have primary responsibility for investment decisions, including conducting their own research on funds and companies’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. Students receive guidance from both faculty advisors and an advisory board. The faculty advisors provide regular input on portfolio management, understanding portfolio performance and ESG investing.
