Welcome back everybody! The executive board of the Dartmouth Society of Investment and Economics is happy to announce our first event of the year.

    We have invited Upgrade Capital, a company that connects prospective hedge fund employers with talented students. To learn more about the company, visit http://www.upgradecapital.com/whatwedo.html

    Upgrade Capital is hosting its second three-month intercollegiate investing competition this fall. The competition is to be held on a proprietary platform featuring live market data and sophisticated performance analytics. In addition to being able to build up meaningful trading records, students will have a chance to interact with peers from across a dozen top-tier universities. Participants showing the best performance will have a chance to engage in on-going dialogue with hedge fund PMs. Top three competitors will split a $5,000 prize pool.

Students with little or no prior markets experience will be given access to specially developed educational materials. Those wishing to apply what they learn and write up trade ideas will be aided by mentors selected from among the most experienced students in the competition.

The first meeting explaining the process will be held in Rocky 001 (Rockefeller 001 for you ‘16s) at 7:30 PM and open to all of campus. The event is co-sponsored by DIPP (Dartmouth Investment in Philanthropy Program).
