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.

Elijah Mendoza is the Chief Financial Officer of the Patrick Henry Investment Group.

His role is to oversee PHIG at all levels: People, Pitch, and Portfolio, and ensure PHIG members are aligned with the strategy.

Senior Analysts

Senior Analysts are an integral part of PHIG’s leadership and are primarily responsible for leading a research team of analysts. Senior Analysts guide the development of their team’s investment pitches by updating members on current events, delegating research tasks, and providing oversight to analysts’ work.
