Bridgewater Collegiate Investors

Bridgewater Collegiate Investors (BCI) is a small, student-run investment group founded to help students gain experience conducting equity research.

This group allows students to grow their professional network and to apply knowledge outside the classroom in preparation for their future careers. Students selected to join Bridgewater Collegiate Investors will gain an in-depth, hands-on learning experience.
