Thanks. Added!
The investment club that you mention at the bottom seems like it is worth creating its own section for. I would also consider removing things about high school from your resume. To me, that means that you haven't done enough in college to not have to search into your past.
Some resumes have up to ten sub-sections of discussion. Honors programs, leadership programs, three separate jobs, social fraternity position, business fraternity position, business clubs, honor societies, awards, etc etc etc can all be seen on one resume.
You have four things.
Fill it up!
There isn't anything on my resume from High School.
The material under 'Student Managed Fund' is pretty fluffy, probably because the involvement is so recent. Something to think about.
My thoughts after a brief glance:
workED. certain periodicals? Cosmogirl? any companies in particular you analyzed / pitched? did the fund act on any of your advice?
Yeah it is pretty fluffy... I mean we pitched a few stocks, but nothing got in the portfolio yet. Any advice?
How you haven't expanded upon your last bullet in the first section is madness, you claim to "advised" (whatever that means) on investments which now constitute over 10% of the fund's AUM, that's a big deal (if wholly true) and should be expanded upon.
I did the primary research for the companies we put in the portfolio. Essentially, how it worked was: I did a bunch of research on an idea my PM had, then I reviewed my notes and thoughts with the PM. He peppered me with some questions and after he liked the story/qualities ect he decided to to do some of his own research and put the companies in the portfolio. How would you recommended I structure that in to my resume?
Anyone else have any pointers?

Your 'Other' label needs to be capitalized. Growth prospects for the target company's....what? Bullet should say 'potentially actionable' not 'potential actionable'. Ascertain makes you sound weird. Just say 'find' intrinsic value or something. Benchmarked is not a real word but bench marked doesn't make sense. Probably saying 'benchmarked' is better. 'Based on certain hardships including job loss, inability to pay rent or inability to...' Two of your bullets under the summer internship are in the present tense, and two are in past tense. Be consistent with your capitalization (in the bottom section, for example) Say 'present stock pitches twice per month to the investment committee' or some variant. Bi-monthly doesn't sound right. The last bullet of your summer experience confuses me. Are you saying that the PM trusted your ideas with 12% of his AUM?
