The 360 Huntington Fund is a unique portion of Northeastern University's endowment managed directly by graduate business students. Northeastern University is internationally known for its emphasis on experiential learning, which the university believes produces professionals better prepared to tackle real-world challenges. Finance is no exception. The first objective of the 360 Huntington Fund is to educate students by tasking them with real and serious capital allocation responsibility that fosters their development into knowledgeable, experienced mutual fund analysts by graduation.
The 360 Huntington Fund is primarily administered by student managers and alumni who hold analysts to professional standards. All equity research is thoroughly and repeatedly vetted, discussed by the entire group, and voted on by managers before a position is taken. These discussions include considerations of macro trends as well as deep firm-specific analysis in bi-weekly meetings.
The 360 Huntington Fund's second goal is to add value to Northeastern University's endowment through investment choices that are likely to produce long term growth. The 360 Huntington Fund's prospectus details this investment strategy.

IX Student-run mutual fund seminar and competition in March of 2009, which covers the year's 2008 performance.
