The D'Artagnan Capital Fund manages approximately $6 million of Xavier's endowment. It is an actively managed opportunities fund which values large cap equities within the S&P 500, utilizing a bottom-up approach. As an manager for the consumer discretionary sector, I extensively researched company financials, management, and industry competitors in formulating financial valuation models, which lead to investment decisions.
