Bison Fund members manage our $2.2 million dollar portfolio for the Larson Foundation, Institute of Regional Studies, and North Dakota State University—learning how to identify and research potential investments, applying tools like Excel and Bloomberg.

New members begin by updating financial models and monitoring earnings calls of the companies we are currently invested in. More experienced members will conduct research on new companies, contact management, and build new financial models.

Between earnings season, our meetings are spent developing networking skills, hosting resume and cover letter workshops, providing assistance with LinkedIn, and bringing in guest speakers from the industry.

We also help students put what they’ve learned into action through various networking trips to Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and Omaha, where we visit a variety of firms to show the many different routes students can take with a career in finance.
