Learning
The best way to learn about investing is by investing real money. QFG manages a real portfolio with the dual mandate of generating returns and educating its members to become better investors.
QFG heavily invests in the development of each new analyst and associate through extensive training and mentorship from upperclassmen with industry experience. Our education program is unique in that we emphasize the hard skills you need to succeed as an analyst, such as how to source ideas, how to read a 10K, and how to value a company.

Leadership
For those members who demonstrate outstanding ability and commitment to the club, we have several management positions that allow you to demonstrate leadership on your resume.
A management position in QFG is a much more rewarding experience than most club board positions. Running QFG involves making investment decisions, allocating a portfolio, handling fund operations, and fundraising. This experience is very valuable to those interested in pursuing a career in investment management.

Recruiting
QFG members intern with major investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Many credit QFG as being an important experience they discussed during interviews, and that their involvement demonstrated a passion for investing.
We hold a resume and recruiting workshop for all new members. Upperclassmen individually review and give feedback on each new member’s resume for inclusion in our resume book.
