About Us
Based at Harvard University, Black Diamond Capital is the preeminent finance organization on campus. With our large AUM and small investment team, we maintain one of the highest capital-to-investor ratios of any student-run investment fund in the world.
We employ equity long-short, special situations, and macro strategies to construct a diversified portfolio that delivers relative outperformance of industry benchmarks. The fund retains a research-heavy focus that plays to the academic strengths our partners.
BDC actively selects the most talented students at Harvard through a highly competitive recruitment process designed to assess investment acumen and holistic fit within the organization.
What We Believe
BDC builds investors, not just returns.
Our members graduate into careers in finance and beyond. We routinely discuss ideas with other investors, invite guest speakers, and visit potential employers.
Process compounds like a good investment.
We set high standards for pitch rigor and hold ourselves to them. Our alumni remain actively involved as investors, mentors, and friends.
Investing is a liberal art.
It rewards the same thing our studies do: curiosity, fresh ideas, and the willingness to defend a differentiated perspective with evidence.
We learn from our mistakes.
Our members develop conviction from first principles and change it when the facts do. Partners are personally invested in the fund and share in very outcome.
