Student Investment Club

The Samohi Investment Club is a student-led investment program operating under the umbrella of the Santa Monica Education Foundation. The Club brings together Santa Monica students committed to learning the principles of investing, capital markets, and financial stewardship through the active management of a real portfolio supporting the Athletics and Arts Endowments.

We invite parents, alumni, and community members to help us grow the Club’s portfolio and, with it, the endowments that sustain Santa Monica’s athletics and arts programs.
