The Twikker Fund is comprised of 2 main sections: the Competition Fund and the Long Term Fund. The Competition Fund The competition runs from October - May, with 5 teams of students each managing £9k. The team returning the best growth on their £9k wins! The Long Term Fund LTF is the largest section of the Twikker Fund, worth c. £160k AuM. The long term fund protects the capital of the Twikker Fund to ensure we continue providing opportunities for years to come, provides income through a large dividend portfolio, and seeks capital appreciation through investing in growth companies. The LTF has a particular focus on careers. Our Alumni Network The Twikker Fund has a strong and rich network of alumni. This network is invaluable in supporting today's students to meet their ambitions.
