MARTLET FUND MCGILL
Philosophy Driving Performance
At Martlet Fund McGill, we believe that lasting investment performance stems from disciplined research, ethical leadership, and a culture of intellectual curiosity — values that shape how we learn, operate, and grow as student investors within a real-world fund environment.
Learning With Purpose
WHO WE ARE
Tomorrow's Leaders. Learning Today.
Martlet Fund McGill is McGill University's first and only student-run hedge fund. We operate like a real fund — with real responsibilities, real decisions, and real expectations. Our members aren't just students — they're investors, analysts, and leaders.
WHAT WE DO
Real Strategies. Real Impact.
We manage a simulated portfolio through three complementary strategies: Event-Driven, Quantitative, and Long/Short Equities. Our mission is to give McGill's top students the tools, rigor, and confidence to excel in institutional investing.
CORE VALUES
What Drives Us.
Our culture is shaped by four core principles that guide everything we do.
People
Our most important investments aren't securities — they're our people. MFM is driven by the growth of our members and analysts. Whether you're a first-year exploring finance or a returning executive, you'll find a collaborative environment where you're supported, challenged, and encouraged to lead.
Potential
We value potential over experience. We recruit based on drive, not resumes. If you're motivated to learn, open-minded, and ready to grow, MFM will meet you where you are — and take you further.
Action
Theory is just the beginning. Our programs are grounded in application — from real investing scenarios to peer-led stock pitches. You'll gain tangible skills in strategy, analysis, and communication, preparing you for both recruiting and real-world success.
Community
We're more than a fund — we're a community. Whether it's through collaborative projects, networking events, or just spending time together, MFM fosters friendships and support systems that last well beyond McGill.
WHAT SETS US APART
Beyond the Classroom.
We're not just another finance club.
Real Fund Mentality
We emulate the structure, expectations, and decision-making rigor of real-world hedge funds.
Student-Led, Professionally Minded
Every investment decision, every report, every meeting is student-driven — yet held to institutional standards.
Selective, Not Exclusive
We welcome intellectual diversity and reward commitment. We don't expect perfection — we expect passion and work ethic.
