The Laurier Graduate Student Investment Fund (LGSIF) provides the opportunity for our graduate students to gain hands-on experience in equity valuation and asset management. The fund follows a prudent investment strategy and adopts a value investment style in small cap stocks.

Students are selected to join LGSIF as analysts or portfolio managers and receive training to manage the fund under the supervision of faculty and industry professionals. All graduate students at Lazaridis School are eligible to apply.
