The Work

Judge us by the research.

Every member of BFIC covers a sector, builds a view, and defends it in front of the club. This page is the output: our practicum portfolios, selected equity research, and competition results — updated as each semester closes.

Portfolio Performance

Two portfolios, one benchmark.

The Group Portfolio holds every pitch the club votes in — a live record of our collective judgment. Sector teams also compete individually to beat their industry benchmarks. Performance is tracked against the S&P 500 on a total-return basis.
