Founded in 2011 with the generous support of the Beedie family, Beedie Endowment Asset Management (BEAM) is an investment fund run entirely by undergraduate students from Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business. BEAM is one of the largest undergraduate student-run investment funds in Canada, with $7.68 million (as of December 31, 2020) invested in Canadian equities, fixed income, and cash. It manages a portfolio on behalf of Simon Fraser University and is ranked along with the university’s professional money managers. BEAM is the future of undergraduate finance education: an extremely demanding, hands-on experience that will equip students with the abilities necessary to enter and excel in capital markets.
