The Eberhardt Student Investment Fund (SIF) was established in 2007 at the University of the Pacific's Eberhardt School of Business with an initial gift of $1 million. Its mission is to provide an elite group of students with hands-on experience in managing a real investment portfolio. Students are responsible for all aspects of the fund, including equity research, security analysis, portfolio allocation, and performance reporting, managing a portion of the university's endowment under the guidance of faculty advisors. This experiential learning program aims to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice in the investment industry.
