Hello, we're PHIG
The Patrick Henry Investment Group (PHIG) is an elite, student-led club that manages an $80,000 investment fund for Patrick Henry College. We equip students with real-world, hands-on investment and leadership experience. With us, both beginner and veteran student investors conduct rigorous equity research with guidance from alumni, financial professionals, and professors. Serving Economics and Business Analytics (EBA) majors at Patrick Henry College, we manage a portfolio of real publicly-traded companies and financial instruments. This makes PHIG a place where students can become careful financial stewards and effective leaders.
Our Purpose
To attract exceptional students into the EBA Program and develop them into faithful stewards of God’s resources.
Our Mission
To equip EBA students with professional investing skills through hands-on experience in portfolio management.
Our Vision
To cultivate a community of 100 EBA students managing a $10 million portfolio for the glory of God.
Our Philosophy
PHIG will engage in mid- to long-term investments, generally lasting more than one year, through a diversified portfolio of stocks and other asset classes. We believe that capital is a gift entrusted to us by the Lord and that it is vital our students understand how to steward their resources properly. As always, the book of Proverbs has a wise saying that directs us at PHIG:
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
— Proverbs 13:11

Get Involved
Whether you are a new student who is keen to learn more about investing, or you are an experienced manager of capital, we’d love you to get involved. Though only EBA students at Patrick Henry College can train as Analysts, other students can still contribute and learn. We also want to meet interested PHC alumni, as well as others whom the LORD is moving to partner with us, either financially or by imparting lessons learned over the years.
