Research Groups

The TIC Research Group is a platform for our members to deepen their knowledge of financial markets, asset classes, and investment due diligence. Our analysts gain hands-on experience through individual research projects and guided research collaboration with the Tufts University Investment Office. At the end of each semester, analysts publish their individual reports and present their research to the TIC community. The Research Group consists of two sectors, allowing analysts to pursue topics of their interest.

Trade Review

The Trade Review sector uses in-depth analysis of historically relevant financial trades to create a dialect about the status quo, the future, and underlying consistencies within the world of investing. This sector’s goal is to foster an open environment where the members can brainstorm potential trades within the context of macroeconomic factors and trends.

VC/PE Investments

The VC/PE Investments sector examines early and growth stage private investment processes and associated historical trends through case studies and industry due diligence, including now public VC-backed companies or failed SPACs. We collaborate with the Tufts University Investment Office (TUIO) to conduct rigorous, industry-specific research throughout each semester, building upon key investment theses and opportunities.
