We're the student-managed investment fund of Hampden-Sydney College, researching and allocating real capital.

Our History

TigerFund was founded in 2002 by a group of students who set out to manage a slice of the college's endowment themselves. The college backed them with an initial $50,000 allocation, and the fund has been entirely student-run ever since — research, idea generation, portfolio construction, and risk management, all handled by the members themselves. Over more than two decades, it has grown steadily in both assets and scope, evolving into Hampden-Sydney College's premier hands-on investing organization.

Investment Philosophy

“From the picks and shovels to the gold itself.”

We invest across the entire value chain. We look for companies with clear competitive moats and strong short- and long-term momentum, with real tailwinds at their backs. Every position is backed by independent research and pressure-tested by the full team before any capital is committed.
