The FPHEC, an incubator of financial talent turns 30
April 30, 2024
The HEC Montréal Student Investment Fund (FPHEC) is celebrating its 30th anniversary. With its 27 members, $1.2 million in assets under management, and its network of over 260 former members, this incubator of financial talent has made its mark over the years in the school community and beyond.
Here are some highlights:
- 1994 – creation of the FPHEC by Philippe Bonin and Frederick Perrault
- 2003 – transformation of the mutual fund structure into a university investment club
- 2022 – institutionalization of the FPHEC thanks to a mandate to manage $1 million in investments from the HEC Montréal Foundation
- 2024 – fundraising for the HEC Montréal Foundation for the fall inauguration of the FPHEC room in the Côte-Sainte-Catherine Building
Leaders around the world
The FPHEC allows Bachelor of Business Administration students to acquire solid skill sets, first in financial analysis, and then in the management of a real portfolio.
“In 30 years, the FPHEC has welcomed over 280 individuals who now have careers all over the world and in all spheres of finance or entrepreneurship. These leaders continue to be involved in the association through mentoring or donations.”
And what are the FPHEC team’s objectives for the coming years?
“One of the group’s priorities is to encourage diversity of genders, cultures, professional and socio-economic profiles, while also promoting academic excellence and, above all, the strength of this network of mutual aid and career advancement for over 30 years!“
