Boston College Fund Hooks Up With Interactive Brokers

Are Futures in the B.C. Investment Club's Future?

The club's management team has a long-term goal in mind: educate club members on hedging strategies, such as options and futures. They plan on inviting alumni traders, who work at companies such as Lehman Brothers LEH and Goldman Sachs GS, to speak to the club about their professional hedging experiences.

Although most of the undergraduate members of the club are not finance majors, the goal of the club is to give all members a basic understanding of investment possibilities that go beyond the buying and selling stocks. A possible result would be to go beyond their historic "long only" strategy to include options and ETFs , which would employ all the tools a modern portfolio manager uses to maximize profit while minimizing risk.
