Applying to SVF

There are two steps to applying to and joining SVF.

Stage 1: Application Package

Submit your application package using the form below. Applications are due by Wednesday, 1/24 at 11:59pm EST (late applications will not be accepted). Your application package should contain:

• Resumé

• ONE of the following deliverables:

  • Investment pitch - Designed for applicants with intermediate experience; Valuation strongly recommended (e.g. Comparables and/or DCF)

    • *The investment pitch should leverage the principles of our Fund’s strategy and research.*

  • Case study - Designed for applicants with no or introductory experience.

Stage 1 applicants will be invited to Stage 2 based on strength of deliverable, resume experience, cultural fit, and time commitment expectations.

Applicants will also have the choice of applying as a Junior Analyst and/or Analyst:

Junior Analysts will take part in the Junior Analyst Academy, which focuses on providing young undergraduates an opportunity to join the fund and participate in a semester-long training process with the rest of their junior analyst class. Taught by our Chief Development Officer and receiving further guidance from Executive Board members, Investment Advisory Board Members, and SVF pitch teams, students will develop considerable skills as they progress through their training content.

Regular Analysts will be immediately placed onto their respective SVF pitch teams at the start of the semester.

Note: Applying as either an Analyst or Junior Analyst requires the same application material submission.

Stage 2: Interview

Covering topics such as:

• Resumé & Investment Pitch or Case Study (Application Package)

• Current events

• General business acumen

Stage 2 applicants will be accepted to SVF based on a holistic review of all application materials and interactions, including demonstration of work ethic, research/analysis abilities, unique perspectives and skillsets, and cultural fit.
