Joining The Griff Investment Fund
Open Meeting
We begin our yearly recruitment cycle with an open meeting, where students interested in joining the fund as analysts can meet our current Executive Committee, Sector Heads and Analysts to ask any questions they may have. Our Chief Investment Officer and Chief Risk Officer will present a mock stock pitch and macro update, to show prospective Analysts what a typical meeting entails.
Join us in-person at 6pm on the 3rd of October 2024 for the 2024/25 open meeting in CL/A/057
Analyst Applications Are Now OPEN
Students from any degree discipline are eligible to join us. We assume that our joiners have no prior knowledge - we value enthusiasm and an intellectual curiosity about the world of finance and/or investing. Applicants will need to fill in a form with their CV highlighting their academic and professional background as well as answer some motivation-based questions highlighting why they’re interested in joining the fund.

The Interview
Upon a successful application stage, you will be invited to an interview with 2 or more members of the executive committee. As part of the interview, candidates are asked to prepare a stock pitch on a company of their choice based on the fund’s pitch template provided. Alongside this, a few more competency-based questions will be asked and candidates will have an opportunity to ask any questions regarding the fund.
All first-year students are guaranteed an interview with us.
Congratulations!
A select number of candidates will pass the interview, after which they will be invited to join the fund. Upon successful admission, all new analysts will be invited to our compulsory training weekend where we give you a foundation in stock valuation, technical analysis and pitch technique from experienced analysts in the fund as well as Keith Anderson from the York Management School.
