Meng Impact Investment Fund at Yale SOM

About Meng Impact Investment Fund at Yale SOM

Officially launched in 2023, the Meng Impact Investment Fund is Yale SOM’s first student-run investment fund, offering hands-on learning opportunities for students interested in achieving societal impact through market-based financial tools. Created with support from Leon Meng ’97, the fund invests in innovative, early-stage for-profit ventures that strive to create a more sustainable and equitable world. Sectors are determined annually based on student interest, and this year include: climate, education & workforce development, financial inclusion, and healthcare. The Meng Fund is committed to fostering impact in venture communities and to increasing student involvement in investing, entrepreneurship, and innovation across Yale and beyond. The fund receives institutional guidance from the International Center for Finance at the Yale School of Management and seeks to leverage expertise housed across Yale’s professional and graduate school network. By establishing a platform to gain investing experience on campus, the Meng Fund is a part of an ecosystem that works to make impact investing more accessible to all students.
