The Alternative Investments Club (AIC) is a highly selective investment club at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business that focuses on the professional development of its members and their holistic understanding of the capital markets. AIC believes that the best way to learn is through action, and as such, the Club provides its members with a suite of opportunities to gain exposure to financial concepts while interacting with high profile industry professionals.

Members actively learn and apply accounting and finance principles in AIC's semester-long real estate and private equity competitions, which are judged by finance professionals at prestigious buy-side firms. Members also learn how to pitch and critique investments in our actively managed $15,000k+ investment fund (the only alternatives-focused fund on campus). 

Guest speakers provide critical insight to our members about their respective industries. In the 2020-2021 school year, notable speakers included Howard Marks, Co-Founder and CEO of Oaktree Capital Management, and John Anderson, Co-Head of Fixed Income and Commodities at Millennium Management.

The Club seeks to recruit the best and brightest students at the University of Michigan. For information on recruitment, please visit our website.
