ABOUT US
Inspired by Berkshire Hathaway's culture and structure, RCIF believes in performance through independent thinking , decentralization and meritocracy.
Established in 2007, Rational Capital Investment Fund (RCIF) is the oldest student-run value investing club at The University of Toronto. The Fund manages a real portfolio from private investors on for educational purposes and offers its members hands-on experience in all aspects of the portfolio management process. It was established with the vision of enabling university students with a passion for investing to gain practical experiences in analyzing capital markets.
We are unique in both our deep and focused interest in preserving value investing, and in our ability to offer students the experience of managing real investors' capital.
