About Us

The Kudla Fund is the flagship finance group on Stanford's campus, and one of the most successful student run funds in the US, with over $1.5 M in total AUM. CEO and CIO of Mainstay Capital Management, established the Kudla Fund in September 2015 with an initial funding of $1MM. Managed by a small group of undergraduate and graduate students, the fund provides a hands-on investing experience where students can learn and practice both fundamental and quantitative strategies.

We actively seek the most talented students on Stanford’s campus with superior financial acumen, and a vitality for investing. We run a highly competitive admissions process throughout summer-fall, and winter-spring. This admissions process evaluates not only technical capability but also fit within our tight-knit organization.
