About

Hedge: Equities, Options, and Alternatives, or simply Hedge, is UIUC’s premier student organization for those interested in finance and investing. At Hedge, we offer countless opportunities for members to develop in whichever way suits them best. Through extensive training, hands-on activities, and a vast supply of other resources, we instill the confidence needed to succeed and grow.

By bridging the gap between theory and practice, our ultimate goal is to provide an environment in which students can improve their skills by building on the knowledge of others. We work with faculty, business fraternities, and other finance organizations to ensure that our members are receiving the best possible experience, which they can benefit from immensely not just now, but in the years to come.
