President’s Welcome
Welcome to Michigan Stocks and Bonds! My name is Elliott Nederhood and I’m currently the President of MSBO, a premier undergraduate investment club. We pride ourselves on helping members gain a comprehensive understanding of investing and prepare for both internship and full-time recruitment across a variety of fields, including investment banking, private equity, venture capital, quantitative trading, and technology.
MSBO was founded on four principles: investing, education, philanthropy, and professional development. These principles are the North Star of our organization and are evident throughout every aspect of the club; we pride ourselves on our strong portfolio performance, holistic education and professional development programs, and philanthropic initiatives with local high schools and charities.
For those interested in applying, I encourage you all to come to events and meet the team. We look forward to getting to know you both personally and professionally while highlighting the tight-knit community and unparalleled opportunities that the club offers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to board@michiganstocksandbonds.org with any questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Elliott Nederhood | President, 2025
Our Pillars
Investing
We employ a diligent approach to generating returns on a risk-adjusted basis through an investment style relying on top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis. Through rigorous research and sourcing of investment ideas, teams across a variety of sectors pitch their ideas to the executive board and broader club. With enough member support, successful pitches will be incorporated into MSBO’s portfolio.
Education
We pride ourselves on our education progam, teaching the most important and applicable concepts in markets and investing. New members will participate in weekly education sessions led by the VP of Education, which include both academic and practical applications of topics such as Financial Market, Fundamental Analysis, Accounting, and Valuation. Members will hone these skills through club-wide stock pitches.
Philanthropy
Our purpose goes beyond investing. We are committed to further the betterment of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Detroit community. Whether its volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, teaching personal finance at Ann Arbor high schools, or raising money for the Ukraine Relief Fund, members can make a positive impact through student-initiated philanthropic endeavors.
Professional Development
Our members go on to work at the top firms throughout the world in a variety of industries and roles. We pride ourselves on our strong alumni pipeline, exclusive speaker opportunities, and recruiting events. Additionally, new members will learn skills in crafting a resume, networking, interviewing, and more.
Sector Desks
As an analyst, you will be placed into one of eight sectors to pitch an investment idea.
Michigan Stocks and Bonds was founded out of the collective ambition of student investors. Our goal is to help students turn their own ideas and visions into successful investments.
