Testimonials

"Students in the 360 Huntington Fund have consistently achieved outstanding investment returns. They have earned accolades in numerous contests against other student-run funds."

—Harlan Platt, Professor of Finance

"The 360 Huntington Fund has given me so much knowledge about stock pitching and, perhaps even more importantly, how to sell your presentation to stakeholders."

—Jiao (Hannah) Li, MS in Finance’18

"I work as a senior associate on the Valuation, Modeling, and Economics team at Ernst & Young in Boston. My corporate finance and valuation classwork really helped me build a solid knowledge base that applies directly to what I do every day. All the class projects were actually applicable to the real world: creating an equity valuation report, working on a startup business model plan, and conducting statistical analysis—all these experiences to date inform the work I currently do."

Bhakti Varma, MS in Finance’19
