About
Founded in 2005, the Tufts Financial Group has been one of the most successful and fastest growing student organizations at Tufts. The Group's rapidly expanding member base now includes approximately 300 members as well as thirteen executive officers, ten student journalists and fifty active portfolio analysts. The Group organizes an annual Financial Careers Symposium in conjunction with Tufts Career Services for Tufts undergrads to hear about experiences of professionals from across the industry. We have also set up the TFG Alpha Fund, which made its first investments in the fall of 2007. The Alpha Fund is the first student-run investment fund in the history of the university. The fund's profits will be donated to student financial aid.
