Desautels Capital Management is Canada’s first university-owned, student-run registered investment management firm. Established in 2009, Desautels Capital Management offers students in the Honours Investment Management program and the Masters of Management in Finance program meaningful and realistic experience in the industry. All students enrolled in the Honours Investment Management Program and Masters of Management in Finance program work for the company, managing three funds with approximately $4.5 million in assets.\n\nEach fund has a team of student-analysts, led by a strategist in their senior year. Equity analysts are divided by sector, while the fixed income team divides itself between foreign exchange, duration, and credit. Risk management plays an important role in the firm's investment philosophy, as a senior student is assigned to assume the role of Risk Manager. Twice a week, the entire investment team meets to discuss fund performance and current market conditions and to pitch potential investments.
