Since its founding in 2005, the Tufts Financial Group (TFG) has established itself as a resource for Tufts students—at all levels of experience—with an interest in finance. TFG is the largest business club on campus with over 100 members and is the only group that offers students real investing experience. Whether you have been interested in finance for years or are just beginning to explore the different career paths that the industry offers, TFG is a great organization in which to cultivate your skills, find a mentor, prepare for interviews, and more. One of the biggest parts of TFG is the Tufts Alpha Fund: an entirely undergraduate student-run investment portfolio established in 2007, which has grown to over $300,000 in Assets Under Management (AUM). Through management of the Fund, TFG provides invaluable hands-on investment experience to undergraduate students of all disciplines and levels of financial expertise. Members initially join the Career Development Course (CDC). Once they have graduated from CDC, students have the opportunity to join the various groups within TFG: TIBC, TTC, and Alpha Fund. The Tufts Investment Banking Club provides students with resources to learn the fundamentals of modeling, valuation, and interviewing to recruit for jobs in IB. The Tufts Trading Club focuses on S&T recruiting while also incorporating subjects like game theory and options pricing. Learn more at tuftsfinancialgroup.org
