Level
The NYU Impact Investment Fund (NIIF) is a specialized, hands-on course designed to immerse students in the world of early-stage impact investing. You will learn the entire investment process, from developing an investment thesis and identifying potential companies to conducting thorough due diligence and finalizing an investment. This course is directly linked to the student-led Impact Investing Fund of the same name. Each year, the fund makes one or two investments, and students in the course work in deal teams to present investment proposals for approval. Participants will also gain access to the MIINT program, a global competition and learning lab for student investment teams. While primarily intended for students from NYU Wagner, NYU Stern, and NYU Abu Dhabi, students from other NYU programs are welcome to apply. Participation requires enrollment for the full academic year (fall and spring semesters), with each semester granting 1.5 credits. The course meets bi-weekly, but students should anticipate a weekly workload for assignments and deliverables.
Curriculum
The course is offered over two semesters (Fall and Spring) and counts as 1.5 credits per semester. Students are expected to enroll for the full academic year.
