LEHIGH DREYFUS PORTFOLIO
Funded in 1962, the Dreyfus Portfolio is the flagship student run investment fund at Lehigh University. The Dreyfus Portfolio provides real investing experience for selected students with an interviewing process often rivaling the same difficulty level of investment banking positions. With a strong understanding of the financial markets, these students are typically juniors, seniors, and graduate students. This portfolio is considered the strongest gateway to the financial markets at Lehigh University. Managers of the portfolio have been consistently recruited for top positions at leading financial firms.
WHO IS ON DREYFUS?
An invitation only portfolio, students that are members of the Dreyfus Portfolio have excelled at understanding the classroom theory, as well as demonstrated the ability to apply these practices in the real world. The Dreyfus Portfolio oversees the entire Investment Management Group, leads compliance reviews for all portfolios and manages their recruitment. Students are expected to follow a sector, provide weekly updates, pitch and research all investment opportunities discussed by the group.
