Student Equity Management Group
Not every college student gets the chance to practice trading in the stock market with university finances. 91̽»¨â€™s Student Equity Management Group (OUSEMG) manages an equity portfolio of approximately $10 million for the 91̽»¨ Foundation under a concentrated portfolio strategy. OUSEMG members build required skills needed to be successful in highly competitive internships and careers.
As a student-run organization, the members make all investment decisions and have consistently outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500. The group was founded in 2001 and allocated its first funds of $100,000 in March 2002. All capital gains and dividend income the group generates is for the 91̽»¨ Foundation, which supports its scholarships, research grants, and other initiatives.

“The opportunities are endless. You make the most of your time here. Whatever area of business you’re excited about, you can find an organization to be a part of or you can start one. It’s not limited to the classroom. … The Student Equity Group really altered me for the better. It gave me knowledge and experience that helped me decide who I am and what I want to do." —Cullen Challacombe, finance and business economics major
