Fisher Family Fellows
Investing in the next generation of finance leaders.
Thanks to the generosity of alumnus Gregg S. Fisher, BS ’92, the University at Buffalo School of Management is expanding opportunities for students to deepen their investment expertise through the newly named Fisher Family Fellows program.
Fisher, founder of Quent Capital, has made a new gift that provides direct funding to students engaged in hands-on investment research through research grants. The gift enhances his ongoing support of the Quent Research Collaborative — which, in collaboration with the School of Management, serves as a dynamic bridge between academia and applied finance, fostering valuable research opportunities that benefit both students and investors.
Beginning in the 2024-25 academic year, selected students received stipends to support their participation in research activities, including both quantitative and qualitative equity analysis, the study of thematic equity trends and investigations into macroeconomic forces. This work deepens their understanding of the broader economy and supports the construction of informed, research-driven equity portfolios.
These students will carry the prestigious title of Fisher Family Fellows, reflecting their commitment to advancing their skills and knowledge in investment research and financial analysis.
This hands-on opportunity will allow students to conduct research that is both applied and theoretical.
In addition to student stipends, Fisher’s gift will support critical resources, including fees for Bloomberg terminals and other student-centered services within the School of Management and the Quent Research Collaborative. The funding also provides flexibility for the dean to support other initiatives that further the collaborative’s mission.
This commitment builds on Fisher’s enduring belief in the power of applied learning and research to shape the future of finance. It reflects his continued dedication to giving back to the university that helped launch his own successful career.
