Investment Funds

Thanks to the generous gifts of donors and sponsors, Paragon Global Investments deploys $40,000 into both the Paragon Value Fund and Paragon Systematic Fund. Members of Paragon Global Investments both develop pitches on mispriced assets and research and develop novel algorithmic trading strategies that will be invested out of their respective funds.

Paragon's investment funds provide students with real-world opportunities to apply what they are taught in Paragon's education. Students can apply both fundamental analysis and systematic algorithms to identify potential asset upside and optimize returns.

Investment Strategy

Paragon Value Fund

The Paragon Value Fund is a well-diversified long-only investment fund that invests into publicly-traded US equities. Analysts engage in fundamental and bottom-up research to identify mispriced assets that will deliver long-term returns on capital to shareholders. Our portfolio allocation focuses on quantitative portfolio allocation metrics to optimize the portfolios total risk-return profile and generate uncorrelated returns.

Paragon Systematic Fund

The Paragon Systematic Fund utilizes advanced mathematical analysis to develop novel systematic algorithmic trading strategies that predict price movements and generate risk-adjusted returns. Our fund leverages cutting-edge quantitative models, historical data analysis, and machine learning algorithms to make informed investment decisions with unparalleled precision. Students design, research, develop, and backtest their trading algorithms to be allocated a portion of the fund. Thanks to our partnership with CloudQuant, Paragon analysts have access to more than 15,000 alternative data sets for the development of proprietary trading signals.
