DSIF was established in the 2009 with an endowment from the Davis family. The fund is designed to provide JU/Davis College of Business students with valuable experience in investment portfolio management, a skill sought after by employers for the best students.

I have had the opportunity to get to know Bryan very well when he attended my Investments I class (FIN420) in Spring 2016 and he demonstrated tremendous effort and growth throughout the semester. Later, Bryan was selected to become a member of DSIF 2016-2017 cohort and he was chosen to represent JU in participating CFA Research Challenge 2017. Bryan is a student with impressive academic record, unsurpassable motivation and work ethics, and ample potential to be successful in any career he chooses. Bryan’s devoted learning attitude could be demonstrated by how in-depth and thoughtful his works are in every assignment and security analysis project. Bryan completed two astonishing stock valuation papers, in which he compared Boeing (ticker: BA) and Monsanto (ticker: MON) from four different valuation models (i.e. Price multiplier, PE multiplier, Dividend Discount Cash Flow model, and Free Cash Flow model). Bryan has advanced skills and passion for the finance topics, I am confident that he will continue to display the same commitment and diligence in everything he does."
