TFG Prez: Wylan Simpson ’15

Describe your experience with TFG:

During my freshman and sophomore year the leadership in TFG was extremely generous with their time and expertise as I learned about the finance industry. I’m still involved in TFG because it gives me the opportunity to help out students who are in the position I was in a few years back.

What does TFG do?

Tufts Finance Group (TFG) manages the Alpha Fund, a $140 K student run fund, and provides career and educational resources for students interested in business, finance and investing.

What’s your favorite part about TFG?

My favorite part would have to be meeting smart, driven students, and seeing a new stock pitch each week.

Besides TFG, what are you involved in on campus?

I play (played, I guess – yikes) flanker for the rugby team and am very involved in my fraternity, Theta Delta Chi. I’m also a buddy in the TASTE program, where I get to hang out with and mentor an awesome third grader named Nicholas.

What do you plan on doing after graduation?

After graduation I’m moving to New York City and working in investment banking for Oppenheimer & Co. I love the city, so I couldn’t be more excited.

What is something most people don’t know about you? 

I’m an avid mountain biker. I ride religiously when I’m home in California. My dad is actually better than me, and he never lets me forget it.

Any secret talents?

It’s a toss up between playing piano and being able to recite the majority of Wedding Crashers from memory.

If you were an ice cream flavor, what would you be and why?

Rocky road. Classic, but still plenty of crunch and excitement. It’s also really delicious and my favorite flavor.
