Alpha Delta Capital is a 501(c)(3) student-run endowment fund providing USC's ZBT with hands-on investing experience. Returns support tuition scholarships for students with financial need.
Members actively manage a diversified portfolio, develop financial models and present stock pitches under the guidance of advisors with professional finance backgrounds.
Our mission is to sustainably fund tuition scholarships for students with financial need – creating a permanent resource that grows alongside the chapter.
The fund fosters an alumni network providing mentorship, recruiting support and lasting connections within the finance industry.
We invest with a multi-year, generational perspective. Our mandate is to build compounding scale that outlasts any single generation of ADC members.
The portfolio spans active equities, passive equities and fixed income — structured to optimize risk-adjusted returns while maintaining liquidity for distributions.
Every investment decision flows through a formal research and review process — written memos, board deliberation, and documented rationale.
