The Charles River Growth Fund

Founded in 1994

The Charles River Growth Fund is Harvard’s oldest investment fund, with a concentrated portfolio of 7-15 equities. Members of the Fund attend weekly meetings and are expected to make at least one pitch per semester.

Membership in The Fund is capped each semester through a rigorous selection process. We seek individuals with integrity, patience for complexity, a knack for thinking creatively, and the courage to set forth a differentiated point of view.

Our members have gone on to companies such as Apollo, Blackstone, Bridgewater, Goldman Sachs, KKR, McKinsey, and other leading firms. In addition, our key partners include Point72, Citadel, Jane Street, and Insight.
