Crimson Equity Partners
A student-led private equity fund at Indiana University
About Us
Crimson Equity Partners (“CEP”) is the first undergraduate student-led private equity fund. We combine hands-on investment experience with alumni engagement to prepare the next generation of finance leaders. Our mission is to provide students with a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity at the Kelley School of Business while also creating a platform to deliver attractive returns to investors.
A Unique Educational and Investment Model
CEP operates as both an educational platform and a professional investment vehicle.
Students source, evaluate, and present investment opportunities alongside experienced alumni, guided by a faculty-led investment committee. This structure creates value in multiple ways, including:
- Providing hands-on learning for students through real-world investment review, LP communication, and fund management.
- Launching a platform for the highest level of Alumni engagement and interaction with students and the Investment Banking Network at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University.
- Creating the ability to generate attractive returns for investors via alumni network–sourced co-investment opportunities.
