Cambridge's largest and most active finance society, CAMSIF is an inclusive community of hands-on learning without risk.
About us
The Cambridge Student Investment Fund (CamSIF) is Cambridge University’s most active, entirely student-led finance society. In the last few years, CamSIF has demonstrated dedication to fostering talent and providing transformative opportunities through sustainable growth in scale and scope. CAMSIF’s purpose is to provide eager students with a unique opportunity to gain experience in investment and markets within a risk-free environment. So, no prior knowledge is required, and students of any degree course are welcome. With access to The Riley Auditorium of Clare College (capacity of approximately 500 people), we utilise the physical space to provide students with a unique hands-on opportunity to learn from accomplished analysts in-person. The Fund only opened to the wider Cambridge Community (previously only Clare College) in September 2021, and the membership quickly grew. Our members have proceeded to firms from Goldman Sachs and Citadel to Bridgewater.

We executed over 60 trades this year, achieving an average team annual return of 18%. 4. We developed Synergy, our proprietary trading platform, enabling trading across 15 economies. 5. We proudly organised the inaugural President's Drinks, where 250 students across the UK had the opportunity to meet founders and senior MDs at the beginning of their careers. 6.

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)

Cambridge Student Investment Fund (CAMSIF) reposted this
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.
