We Are Michigan's
premier investing club.

An important goal of MII is to educate members about investing and strengthen their knowledge of financial markets. This goal is comprised of three parts: First, new members attend “Breakfast Club” sessions to learn the basics of investing, including how to source investments, value firms, and use financial data tools. Second, senior members lead presentations during club meetings on more advanced investing topics, such as distressed debt investing, options valuation, and monetary policy. Third, every meeting features a market update that provides members with a foundation and framework to understand current economic conditions and events.

MII builds a student-run portfolio through a process in which members source ideas through their own research, and pitch their best investment ideas as a pitch team to the rest of the club. After each pitch, there is an extensive Q&A session in which members seek to stress test thesis points made during the pitch to ensure we are making the best investment decisions as a club. Members then vote on whether the security should be added to MII’s portfolio. Each member in MII has equal voting power, from freshman to senior. After an investment has been approved, it is then sent to the investment committee where sizing and risk based hedging approaches are discussed.

Our members are high performing. Graduating seniors have gone off into a variety of firms on both the sell side and buy side. Their success is attributable to the intrinsic work ethic and intellect they possess, which MII is able to magnify through our extensive resources and alumni network. Because of the hands on training and industry like standards for pitches, MII members find themselves well prepared when they enter the workforce and are able to hit the ground running when they start their internships or full time careers.
