Orientation and The Year Ahead
Pamplin Hall
As the BASIS team members returned from their challenging and rewarding summer internships experiences, they were excited and re-energized about the opportunities the new school year will hold. BASIS’s mission is simple “To provide educational opportunities, on behalf of the Virginia Tech Foundation, through the successful implementation and operation of a student-led, fixed income, investment fund.”
BASIS looked to continue its mission and make this year the most rewarding yet. Through our fall orientation, members learned about transactions carried out by the Summer Investment Committee, and they were also given the opportunity to discuss their internship experiences. Members also discussed portfolio management, current events, and new tools accessible to the group.
The summer presented new challenges for our Summer Investment Committee. BASIS received a tender offer for one of our holdings, and the committee was tasked with determining whether or not the offer aligned with the needs of the portfolio. Several factors were considered for the deal including possible returns or the discounting of future ones, effects on the portfolio’s duration and weightings, and changes in exposure to sectors of the market.
