Columbia University Investment Clubs

Can I have some insight on the Investment club and funds that Columbia University offers? I'm currently in the process of transferring there in the fall of 2021 as a sophomore.

There's Lion Fund, a bunch of venture clubs, CFIG, a new one (CU alpha partners) more focused on HF/RE, and a couple impact clubs. I believe only Lionfund actually invests capital, also is very selective. My advice is apply to clubs but also look for NY firms that hire interns, can be a nice way to make some extra $ and get experience
