Congratulations to Theo Wilson
Posted on 18 April 2018
Theo is one of five York students who will take part in the final of a student competition in Atlanta, Geogia, to present a trading strategy that they have devised over the last few weeks. They will go against the likes of Harvard and MIT to win over a panel of judges to win the prize of best worldwide team in devising new trading strategies.
Theo and his team-mates are members of the Griff Investment Fund, which calls upon a group of around 50 undergraduate and postgraduate students that manage £10,000 of the University’s endowment and invest in the stock market. Established in 2013, the group is one of, if not the UK’s first student run, real money portfolio.
