The Student Value Fund (SVF) is the premier investments focused organization on Northeastern University's campus, with over $200,000 of the school endowment under active management. As an organization, we strive to embody Northeastern's values of experiential learning through the application of theory into practice. Moreover, we foster growth within our members through the exercising of extensive financial analysis, modelling, and pitching skills to best equip them for their professional goals. Our culture is one that is defined by a passion for the markets and eagerness to learn. First and foremost, we continuously develop as aspiring leaders of the financial world through teaching and mentoring each other. Members undergo extensive training during a semester on analyzing companies from a fundamental perspective and presenting attractive investment opportunities- culminating in final investment pitches. Proudly student-led, we invoke leadership abilities within our community that can be transferred to all aspects of our lives.Our MissionWe seek to promote SVF as an education focused environment focused on our shared passion for investing. Students who invest in their time in SVF exponentially grow not only their knowledge of investing, but also their collegiate network.Investment PhilosophyAt Northeastern's Student Value Fund, we take a rigorous approach to identifying long-only investment opportunities that we perceive are undervalued. We look only at publicly traded stocks where we feel there is a significant mispricing between the market and our variant perception.
