Cornell Alpha Fund

Founded in 2011, the Cornell Alpha Fund is Cornell University's premier undergraduate-run, absolute return investment fund. Its primary mission is to provide an unparalleled educational experience for its members by actively managing a long/short equity portfolio. The fund gives students hands-on experience in financial analysis, portfolio management, and equity research, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world investment practices. It operates under the umbrella of Cornell University and is managed entirely by students.
