Dickinson Student Investment Group

The Student Investment Group at Dickinson College, or simply SIG, is a student-run investment group that invests fictional money with mock portfolios in order to provide members with an immersive, working financial and investment education. The group invests in a wide range of public equity investments, such as individual corporate stock, ETFs (electronically traded fund), and REITs (real estate investment trust). The core of the SIG is comprised of a diverse group of motivated students, where experienced members strive to educate new members in a very group-oriented environment during weekly meetings. After undertaking extensive research and review of various investment proposals, students vote together in a straight voting system to execute final investment decisions. The student team comprises only the first of three parts of the SIG. An on-campus Advisory Level is composed of Faculty and Administration, while a handful of generous Alumni form the Oversight Committee
