About BoilerHedge

Our mission

We combine lectures with simulations, competitions, and technical workshops to bridge theory and investment practice. The society is open to students of all majors and experience levels, emphasizing disciplined risk-taking, analytical thinking, and — above all — collaborative learning.

We're registered at Purdue as BoilerHedge. You may also see us as the Hedge Fund Society — the name we were founded under and still use in some settings, which is why our club email is hfspurdue@gmail.com.

The gap we aim to fill

• No hedge fund organization existed at Purdue. We're the first society dedicated to hedge fund strategies, the industry, and its careers.
• No quantitative organization open to all students. Quant finance at Purdue shouldn't require a specific major or prior coding experience to get started.
• No club combining experiential learning with lectures. We pair every concept with a simulation, workshop, or competition — learning by doing, in the context of hedge funds.

Member expectations

• No prior finance or coding knowledge required. The curriculum assumes nothing and builds fast.
• Open to every major. Engineers, economists, CS majors, and everyone else — diverse teams make better investors.
• Participate in at least one competition, simulation, or challenge per semester. Watching isn't learning.
