ABOUT US

The Whitworth Student Investment Group is a group of undergraduate students from all areas of interest with a passion for investing. We get hands-on experience by managing the Robblee-Roberts Student Investment Fund as part of Whitworth University’s endowment. WSIG started in 2012 and as it has grown, it continues to carry out the mission to foster intellectual curiosity and experiential learning. Our goal is to provide students with the opportunity to be involved in investment management and through WSIG, we foster the skills of leadership, communication, presentation, and public speaking. 

There are two meetings in the week where the group members get together. The first is a more casual sector meeting. The second meeting is every Tuesday morning at 6:15 am which is more structured and professional. At this meeting, there are typically announcements, news briefings, pitches, and Q&A sessions. 

 
 

OUR HISTORY

In 2012, the Whitworth Student Investment Group was created from the minds and leadership of three students: James King, Austin Vierra, and Makayla Palmer. In collaboration with these three passionate students, WU’s Board of Trustees, the Robblee-Roberts Student Investment Fund, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Finance, Duff Bergquist translated this idea into a reality. 

The group has transformed in many ways since then, whilst sustaining its mission to foster intellectual curiosity and experiential learning through student-driven work. The group has attained a director team, a Capital IQ subscription and over $145,000.00 under management. A catalyst to the group’s success lies within the individual members of the team, who are dedicated analysts, excellent mentors, and have the discipline, critical thinking skills, and motivation to stay focused. Furthermore, the WSIG has learned to invest in its people, teaching communication and leadership skills that will have an enduring impact on students’ future careers.
