Real Capital Fund
Launching soon.
Sparrowcore's flagship fund will invest real, donor-contributed capital across public equities with the structure and discipline of a professional hedge fund. It isn't live yet — here's exactly where things stand and how to be part of it from day one.
What It Is
The fund the rest of this site describes.
The Real Capital Fund is Sparrowcore's flagship vehicle — real, donor-contributed money invested across public equities under a broad equity mandate, run by student Equity Research Analysts and overseen by an Investment Committee. It's built to operate exactly like an institutional asset manager: fundamental research, disciplined risk management, and a real fiduciary relationship with the people who fund it.

Where Things Stand
What's happening before launch.
Donations are open now through our GoFundMe. This is the capital the fund will invest once it goes live — every dollar raised before launch becomes working capital, not a fee or overhead cost.
We're recruiting and training the Equity Research Analysts who will cover sectors and pitch ideas to the Investment Committee once capital is deployed.
The research process — fundamental analysis, AI and alternative data, risk review, committee approval — is already running in full on our paper trading fund, so it's proven before real money touches it.
We're finalizing the legal and operational structure appropriate to a student-led fund handling real donor capital, in step with our university and advisory relationships.
Get Involved Now
You don't have to wait for launch day.
Donations fund the launch. Analyst applications are open now, with new analysts starting on the paper trading fund before this one goes live.
