The Meteoric Rise of Alternatives

Our club was founded on the thesis that alternative investments are not just a trend—they represent a permanent and growing segment of the global capital markets. As institutions increasingly allocate capital beyond the traditional 60/40 portfolio, our mission is to help students understand, evaluate, and find the right balance of alternatives in a modern investment strategy. 

Other includes Real Estate, Infrastructure, and other alternative strategies

CFA Society of New York x BAI

On December 11th, we partnered with CFA Society New York to host the first-ever student-led symposium, bringing together students from Columbia, NYU, St. John’s, Rutgers, Fordham, and other nearby universities. 

The event featured Managing Directors and CEOs from across the alternative investments space.

Secondaries of Tomorrow x BAI

September 2025, our members had the opportunity to attend the “Secondaries of Tomorrow” event at the Harvard Club. We connected with recruiters and professionals from firms such as Evercore, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan.

A special thank you to Peter Wright for the invitation and for hosting such an insightful discussion on the evolving secondaries market.

Connecting students with meaningful opportunities and equipping them for successful, impactful careers.
