Mission Statement

Tufts Financial Group

Since its founding in 2005, the Tufts Financial Group (TFG) has established itself as a resource for Tufts students—at all levels of experience—with an interest in finance. TFG is the largest business club on campus with over 100 members and is the only group that offers students pre-professional guidance and real investing experience.

​

Whether you have been interested in finance for years or are just beginning to explore the different career paths that the industry offers, TFG is a great organization in which to cultivate your skills, find a mentor, prepare for interviews, and more.

​

TFG is comprised of four groups. The Career Development Course serves as an introductory course for first-years and sophomores. Topics include the fundamentals of accounting, interviewing skills, and networking. The Tufts Investment Banking Club (TIBC) provides students with resources to learn the fundamentals of modeling, valuation, and interviewing to recruit for jobs in IB. The Alpha Fund is  an entirely undergraduate student-run investment portfolio established in 2007. The portfolio, which is managed by ~20 students, has grown to over $300,000 in AUM. Finally, The Tufts Trading Club (TTC) focuses on S&T recruiting while also incorporating subjects like game theory and options pricing.
