F.W. Olin Students Given Opportunity for School Investments
F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business Students have a special opportunity to be involved in the financial investments at Babson College. The Babson College Fund (BCF) is an academic program in which specially selected students from both the Undergraduate and Graduate schools. These selected students manage a portion of the Babson College endowment. The program builds students’ investment research and portfolio management skills and offers practical experience.
The investment style of the Babson College Fund (BCF) is to aggressively apply conservative investment principles. The students conduct intensive fundamental and quantitative research to identify stocks that are good values at their current market prices. Selected stocks are then over weighted within a diversified portfolio. Managers monitor the fund’s overall risk and the sources of risk, aiming to keep risk and tracking error within allowable bounds.
