Global Platinum Securities™ is a student-run investment fund that seeks to educate the next generation of investors by immersing them in a highly interactive learning experience that solidifies the principles of investing while fostering social responsibility. 

However, GPS is far from an ordinary investment vehicle. Its members are a group of students who hail from some of the world’s most renowned colleges and universities. Under the guidance of professional mentors, students work pro bono, conducting fundamental research that determines the fund’s holdings. Furthermore, in an effort to promote financial literacy, Global Platinum Securities™ capitalizes on the group’s diversity and wealth of knowledge by giving back to the community through charitable and volunteer efforts.

As a member of GPS, students acquire a broad, but in-depth education and will:

• Learn how to create an investment vehicle from the ground up
• Learn how to create a balanced portfolio for varying risk levels
• Learn how to establish an investment track record
• Learn a variety of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis
• Gain a first hand, in-depth understanding of fiduciary responsibility and entrepreneurship

GPS, like any profit-seeking enterprise, wishes to maximize its return on investment. However, we do not strictly seek financial gains because we cannot find a more worthy return than knowledge. We wish to profit by upholding an ethical code of conduct, by educating, by mentoring, and by fostering life-long friendships and the flow of ideas among ourselvesand our mentors. Students’ and mentors’ involvement in GPS is an investment in the future.
