About
Who We Are
Ophis Capital is a student-run investment fund founded in 2026 and run by brothers of the Delta Gamma chapter of Sigma Nu at Columbia University.
The fund is organized as a general partnership in New York. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Columbia University.
Strategy
We focus on catalyst-driven investing: ideas built around a specific, dated event expected to move a stock, such as an earnings release, a regulatory or court ruling, an FDA decision or a merger vote. Positions are typically held until the catalyst resolves.
We are not restricted to catalyst-driven ideas. The fund takes both long and short positions.
Coverage Groups
The fund is divided into seven coverage groups:
- TMTTechnology, Media & Telecom
- Healthcare
- FIGFinancial Institutions Group
- REGLReal Estate, Gaming & Lodging
- Industrials
- Power & Utilities
- Consumer & Retail
Team Structure
- Founding Partners & Sector Heads
- Each leads a coverage group: pitching ideas, monitoring the group's positions and managing its analysts. The Founder & CEO runs the fund and its meetings, and the Chief Investment Officer oversees portfolio decisions.
- Senior Advisors
- Upperclassmen with experience in banking, hedge funds and asset management, who review pitches before they reach a vote and give feedback.
- Analysts
- First- and second-year members who help build the fund's stock pitches while learning equity research.
The Portfolio
~$7K raised in committed capital.
The fund will build its initial portfolio on Monday, November 30, 2026, after every coverage group has pitched its first stock idea.
