Who We Are

Welcome! We, the Wharton Investment & Trading Group (WITG, for short) are the premier undergraduate institution for professional preparation in investing and trading financial careers. As the largest finance/education-oriented organization in Wharton, our investment and development teams both teach the principles of value investing, trading, business analysis, and quantitative finance, between development sessions and active pitches/work under the supervision of team portfolio managers (PMs). We're proud to have been Wharton Council's "Best GBM" at the school in 2021-2022 and “Best Large Club” in 2016-2017, and to have organized the “Best Collaborative Event” in 2018-2019.

Our investment team meetings occur weekly, and we offer the development team to provide introductory learning opportunities about financial skills. In addition to our events throughout the year, we hold General Body Meetings (GBMs) every Sunday which feature talks and work from our investment team members.
