Sprott Student Investment Fund The Sprott Student Investment Fund (SSIF) was founded in 2007 as a charitable organization under the guidance of academic overseer Howard Nemiroff with an endowment from the school of $50,000. It has grown from 8 members to over 20 members as of October 2019 and has been able to maintain a positive margin against the S&P 500 as its benchmark for performance comparison. The aim of the Fund is to educate its participants in how the process of evaluation of investment opportunities takes place with large sums of money. Its focus is on value investing, primarily based on bottom-up economic analysis matched with fundamental analysis. It does not use technical analysis to make meaningful investment decisions but technical analysis is sometimes used to determine entrance and exit opportunities. The Sprott Student Investment Fund is run by students enrolled in the Sprott School of Business and historically has been staffed primarily by students in the undergraduate Finance concentration. Currently, the Fund has over $1M AUM.
