GW Investment Institute

The GW Investment Institute (GWII) teaches students at George Washington University how to invest and how to think about investing. GWII students learn by doing. They serve as analysts and portfolio managers, managing over $11.9 million in university endowment funds across four student investment funds and five classes covering equities, real estate, quantitative investing, and venture capital. 

Hosted by Rodney Lake, finance professor and director of the GWII, Market News with Rodney Lake is the leading university-run finance podcast, combining rigorous academic analysis with real-world investing. Professor Lake delivers weekly breakdowns of companies in the GWII’s student-managed funds and highlights current market trends.
