About

Who we are

We are dedicated to educating our members on the principles of finance and investing while providing them with the technical and professional development skills necessary for a career in financial services.

What we do

Our three separate Growth, Value, and Fixed Income investment teams meet weekly to discuss current market trends, investment opportunities, and our current investment strategies. In addition to our Fund meetings, we host events and competitions for the general student body that feature guest speakers. Our committed AUM is around $400,000.

How we serve

Since its founding in 2000, OFC (formerly OSFIC) has remained committed to strengthening the Oberlin community. Each year, we contribute 3% of our AUM back to the College, providing scholarship support for students with financial need. Looking ahead, OFC also aims to broaden its impact by leveraging our experience and resources to promote financial literacy among underprivileged youth in the community.
