Benson Davis Student Investment Fund

the benson davis student investment fund is a student organization within pacific lutheran university's school of business that aims to give students hands-on experience investing real money. the fund's origins date back to 1982 when the mary lund davis student investment fund was originally founded by a $25,000 grant. since then, we have grown to manage over $200,000 under our new name that pays homage to the original founding trust. the student investment fund (sif) is run by a group of elected students, the board, who hold weekly meetings and facilitate discussions. sif provides a great opportunity for students to gain exposure to topics and careers in finance, market discussions, and financial modeling early on in their education.
