ABOUT US
EDUCATION
At Forest Hills Charitable Investments, our commitment to positive change extends beyond traditional approaches. We believe that true impact is achieved not only through financial growth, but also through sharing knowledge and empowering others. That's why we have embraced a unique strategy that combines hands-on investing with a team of dedicated student researchers and aspiring investors.
We recognize the importance of equipping the public with the tools they need for a successful future. Our organization pairs student investors with experienced investors and professionals, providing a platform for experiential learning in the world of finance. This approach gives students real-world insights that are incredibly valuable as they chart their own paths toward financial success. Furthermore, to maximize the potential for the growth of our students, we have divided our crew into four separate investing groups. This allows our students to dive deep into the content of their investing groups, building their expertise in that field, and helping our group diversify our portfolio while making educated investments.
Investing students are able to see the real-world changes of their selected stocks through our portfolio, thus providing them a realistic experience of the stock market with minimal risk. Any earnings generated by FHCI's portfolio are either reinvested for the purpose of education or donated to partnering non-profits
INVESTMENT TEAMS
Growth
Investing in growth stocks is for the sole purpose of generating more returns. There is no “impactful” reasoning behind it. It uses a more technical approach to stocks compared to any other type of stock: looking at the PE ratio, PEG ratio, and other numbers.
Dividend
A Dividend stock refers to a publicly traded company's stock that regularly distributes a portion of its earnings, usually in the form of cash, to its shareholders. Investing in this type of stock allows us to receive guaranteed money while simultaneously looking to see if the stock itself grows.
Value
Value investing is a strategy that involves choosing stocks that appear to be trading for less than their intrinsic or book value. Value investors believe the market overreacts to good and bad news, resulting in stock price movements that do not correspond to a company's long-term fundamentals. The overreaction offers an opportunity to profit by buying stocks at discounted prices.
Small Cap/Mid-Cap
Small and Mid-Cap investing focuses on identifying relatively unknown, lower valued companies with high potential for growth. Small/Mid-Cap investors learn the financial differences of these companies compared to more established companies. An important factor of this strategy is to understand that although a stock might look like a poor investment, it could still grow.
DONATION
What sets us apart is our commitment to amplifying the impact of your generosity. As our investments flourish, so does our ability to make meaningful contributions to other nonprofits that align with our mission. We identify organizations that are actively working toward positive change in areas such as education, healthcare, social justice, and environmental conservation. Currently, this non-profit is Feeding America West Michigan. Through your financial support, we empower these nonprofits to expand their reach and magnify their impact on our community.
