Our Team

PHIG is a student-run investment club, so each member of the team is a current EBA student at Patrick Henry College. All of our current board members and senior analysts started out as junior analysts. They have been appointed for their willingness to take ownership of greater responsibility, initiative, and skill, through an interviewing process.

The team is composed of the Executive Board, Senior Analysts, and the Junior Analysts that they lead. 

Executive Board

The Executive Board is responsible for providing direction to PHIG, carrying out its Mission, and managing the portfolio. The Board consists of the President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Research Officer, and Chief Operating Officer.
