They are management students of prominent B-schools, in their early-twenties and have an active social life but unlike their peers, they are already fund managers in their own right.
Naman Jain is a case in point. He is a 24-year-old MBA student with a big responsibility over and above his academic duties–managing money of about 146 of his batchmates. Jain, along with his classmate Swarnadeep Ghosh, heads an investment fund—Joka Advantage Fund (JAF)—at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta. JAF is a student-run fund that manages students’ money by investing it in the capital markets.
