Background
GWII teaches students how to invest and how to think about investing. In GWII’s finance classes, students serve as analysts and portfolio managers, managing over $9 million in university endowment funds across four student investment funds covering equities, quantitative investing, and real estate. The Institute was launched in 2005 with a seed donation of $1 million from Russ and Norma Ramsey, which established the GW Ramsey Student Investment Fund.
