Harvard Financial Analysts Club
The Harvard Financial Analysts Club (HFAC) is dedicated to providing the Harvard student body with sound financial education programs and real-world investment experience. Through the HFAC comp, new members are given a ground-up introduction to finance with a focus on internship and career preparation. After completion of the comp, students can help manage HFAC's open-end mutual fund, an equity portfolio under the direction of the club's student and alumni members. In addition to its weekly comp and fund meetings, HFAC hosts guest speakers from both academia and the finance industry.
Meetings for the 2009-2010 school year will be held every Thursday
in the Lamont Forum Room on the third floor of Lamont Library.
