Welcome To The Monash Student Managed Fund (MSMF)!

At the Monash Student Managed Fund (MSMF), we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to explore, learn, and excel in the world of finance, regardless of their background or degree. Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between the classroom and the finance industry by providing students with real-world, practical experience that prepares them for the careers ahead. Through our unique pitch cycle, students gain hands-on exposure to equity research and fund management, applying classroom knowledge in a live investment setting. Along the way, they develop the skills, insights, and confidence to become industry-ready professionals. We also place strong emphasis on ESG matters, with dedicated programs that research the companies we invest in and assess how their ESG policies align with MSMF’s values. In addition, our members produce reports and market analysis papers, keeping the fund informed and engaged with the latest industry developments. MSMF is more than just a fund. We are a community. We support each other’s journeys, celebrate successes, and learn from challenges. Whether you are looking to deepen your technical expertise, connect with industry leaders, or discover where your passion for finance can take you, MSMF provides the platform to make it happen.

Together, we are building a space where students can thrive and where the next generation of finance professionals can take their first steps toward making an impact.
