Asset Class

• Fixed income?
• REITS?
• Based on what Chris said, we might be best off trading equities through Alpaca in a “quantamental” manner like how I described.

Trading Architecture

• Mine Bloomberg for data (best stock data for consistency and time intervals) with Bloomberg terminals in the Comm School?
• Where do we mine our data?
• Models require data, and the data must be consistent
• AWS to store the data? How and where should we store our data?
• We’ll encounter growing pains in the form of scaling issues.
• Hardware? Do we have a way to keep a PC running for 24hrs?
• Use a SQL database?

Capital/Pay Structure

• Copy/paste Colonnade Capital operating agreement?
• Operate the fund during the summer? Or close the fund during the summer for the sake of compliance during internships?

Responsibilities

• We all learn and work together initially to get things set up
• Specialize and carve out roles after we become more established

Next Steps

• Dean will make a Slack for communication
• Shyon will try to inquire about Bloomberg terminal access (anyone else interested in this can check, too)
• Open Alpaca paper trading account
• Dean will send a When2Meet for a general body meeting time
• Dean will send operating agreement
