The Committee at CamSIF are excited to announce that, as of summer 2024, CamSIF has merged with CUFIS to form what will be the largest finance society in Cambridge! 🎉 Through this merger, CamSIF will lead the internal oversight of the APEX fund, handling all operations that dictate the formation of our portfolio, whilst CUFIS will steer external operations by delivering large-scale events.

With the conclusion of the Portfolio Management Competition, we have collected all the required data and are proud to announce the sector teams who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the year: 1st Place: Energy 2nd Place: Emerging Markets 3rd Place: Technology We would like to congratulate and thank all teams for their participation in the competitions first edition and we hope the society can continue to build on this in future years! The top placed teams have been determined by the teams who generated the highest excess returns above their corresponding MSCI index. We chose to measure performance through an excess return method as despite teams being able to execute long and short positions, there is varying volatility between sectors which highly affects each teams opportunity to generate returns. Considering this, excess returns against each sector’s benchmark was deemed the most the appropriate method to provide a fair assessment of portfolio performance. Please see below the indexes used to measure each sector’s performance: Energy: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Energy UCITS ETF - (LSE: ENGW) Consumer Retail: Weighted average between: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Consumer Discretionary UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE: WCOD) - SPDR®️ MSCI World Consumer Staples UCITS ETF (LSE: WCOS) Healthcare: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Health Care UCITS ETF (LSE: HEAW) Technology: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Technology UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE:WTEC) Emerging Markets: - SPDR®️ MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (LSE: EMRD) Industrials: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Industrials UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE: WNDU) Special Situations: - SPDR®️ MSCI World UCITS ETF (LSE: SWRD)

Recently, I celebrated a milestone event for Cambridge Student Investment Fund (CAMSIF) with our first-ever President's Drinks. I was incredibly fortunate to host hundreds of students from universities across the UK, as well as 30 senior speakers - each a leader in their own field. My gratitude extends profoundly to my committee members, whose vision, dedication, and hard work helped me to bring this event to life. Organizing such a successful gathering is no small feat, especially considering it was our first attempt. The credits go to Eidyn Pottinga and Vadim Rikunov for their smooth running of logistics; Aishi Basu and Elena Zheng for inviting our exceptional and diverse guests; Damsith Wimalasena and Angela Chen for supporting the overall operations. I'm also thankful for the immense support from William Yu, Nikola Milojkovic, and Shen Lin, from setting the vision with me to executing every step. Your commitment and passion do not go unnoticed. Thank you for making this happen. A special word of thanks also to our keynote speakers Clara Reyero Carmona, Siddhi Mittal, Dr Zahid Moneer, PhD, MPhil, MBA (Cantab), Dima Shvets, and Stephen Paine. I greatly appreciate your willingness to engage, share your wisdom, and contribute to the growth of the next generation. Lastly, but certainly not least, my heartfelt thanks to all the speakers who took the time to be part of this event. Each of you brought something unique to the table, enriching our discussions and giving an invaluable insight into the industry. Reflecting on the success of our first President's Drinks, I am filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment. This event has set a precedent for CamSIF, one that we are excited to build upon in the future.
