Impact Highlights
SolidRock is a student-run investment training program. We use simulated capital and professional-grade research so students learn how a non-profit quant fund operates in practice.
Impact-Driven Mindset
Students design and test strategies as if they were managing capital on behalf of high-impact charities, learning how disciplined investing can support meaningful causes in the real world.
Analytics & Transparency
We emphasize clear research memos, risk reports, and dashboards so students learn to communicate investment decisions and potential impact the way professional funds do.
Inclusive Impact
We prioritize causes and communities that expand opportunity and resilience across education, health, and more.

About Our Student Investment Training Fund
Founded by Sergei Zhdanov, SolidRock Capital is a student-run investment training program: we mirror how a non-profit quantitative hedge fund would operate, but we do not manage real capital today.
Instead, students learn rigorous fundamental and quantitative analysis using simulated portfolios. In the future, we aim to manage real capital with a clear, impact-focused giving strategy.
