The Brown Investment Group is Brown’s premier student-run investment fund. Founded in 2002, the Brown Investment Group is the largest and oldest investment club on campus. We are dedicated to both teaching and practicing the principles of investing. We are composed of a highly selective research committee of 35 students and general body of over 300 students. We manage two separate funds — a Core (long-only) fund with $400K AUM (est. in 2002), and our newly-founded Long/Short fund with $100K AUM, generously donated by Steven A. Cohen in 2023. The Long/Short Fund is the first ever student-run, university-endorsed long/short fund. The Brown Investment Group’s two differing funds provide great flexibility in investment theses, with the value-focused mandate of the Core Fund, and the flexible mandate of the Long/Short Fund.
