Equity Fund
GIMG’s Equity Fund is, along with the Fixed Income Fund, one of the two main pillars of our organization. We perform fundamental analysis on publicly traded companies and execute market research that is used to generate investment ideas.
Analysis is completed through our four divisions: Idea Generation, Qualitative Analysis, Quantitative Analysis, and Education. These groups, each led by a designated VP, work in unison to develop a portfolio benchmarked to the S&P 500.
Our active fund structure consists of one CIO, four VPs, and 14 analysts as of date.
2022-2023 Outlook
Letter from our CIO
To our members, stakeholders, and the greater Goizueta community,
This past year I have been fortunate enough to have been under the leadership of the most passionate, brilliant, and tenacious individuals I know. To say the least, I am honored to be following in Emily Shaener’s footsteps to serve as CIO for the 2022-2023 year.
GIMG has been one of my most imperative experiences at Emory University, but I won’t lie, it was daunting to join the organization in my first semester. I doubted my ability to succeed under the financial industry’s steep learning curve, but with the support of the GIMG community, I thrived. In this past year, our Sunday meetings stood as the pinnacle of each of my weeks as the uninterrupted hour spent discussing, debating, and bantering with my peers facilitated an unmatched learning environment. Alongside Dylan Sun, Zach Pearlstone, Celia Zhou, Rabia Kang, and Harrison Coorey I am excited to foster what makes GIMG so special this upcoming year - the community.
I hope to continue my predecessor's momentum of continuously improving the organization. My two main goals this year are to further emphasize the core fundamentals of the financial industry in the Fund’s weekly activities and to continue to enhance our mentorship opportunities. I believe each of these initiatives will help support members' future careers in the financial industry.
I am excited to lead the Equity Fund this upcoming year. It is my desire to support each of our current and new members in their endeavors.
Best,
