Is QFG Currently accepting applications?

We accept new members at the beginning of the fall semester. See Recruitment Process for more details about recruitment events and application deadline.

Do I have to contribute money to the Fund?

Our organization prefers members to invest in a QFG fund because this incentivizes members to be active and diligent. However, we do accept a limited number of Analysts that do not have a stake in the fund. Prospective Analysts must demonstrate a strong willingness to dedicate time and effort to the Group.

What levels of membership are offered?

Analysts: Contribute to idea generation but have no stake in the fund.
Associates: Contribute to idea generation and investment decision-making.
Partners: In addition to idea generation and investment decision-making, due to holding the largest stakes, they also make operational decisions and together constitute QFG Leadership.
