About the Organization

From its founding in California in the late 19th century until today, Stanford has been infused with the American West’s spirit of openness and possibility. We believe strongly in the mission of higher education – to create and share knowledge and to prepare students to be curious, to think critically, and to contribute to the world. With world-class scholars and seven schools located together on a single campus, Stanford offers academic excellence across the broadest array of disciplines. It also is an engine of innovation, blending theory and practice to move ideas and discoveries from labs and classrooms out into the world. We strive to foster a culture of expansive inquiry, fresh thinking, searching discussion, and freedom of thought – preparing students for leadership and engaged citizenship in the world.

About the Fellowship

The Stanford Long-Term Investing Fellowship (SLTIF) is now accepting applications for its second year, building on a successful inaugural cohort. This program provides a group of stellar, mission-driven university graduates with the opportunity to spend 12 months deeply engaged in the world of long-term investing. Specifically, SLTI Fellows will spend one year working at Stanford University, on secondment to one of CalPERS investment teams or rotations in Sacramento, California.

The Stanford Long-Term Investing Fellowship is a one-year rotational program of learning, researching, working, and investing. Stanford University will select and hire four outstanding graduates (from undergrad and masters programs across the United States) in the Spring of each year and bring them to California (first Stanford, then Sacramento).

STAGE 1: LEARNING AT STANFORD (AUGUST)

Fellows will spend a week on campus studying with Dr. Ashby Monk and the team at the Stanford Long-Term Investing Research Initiative. The purpose of this week will be to learn about the world of long-term investors and prepare them for the year they will spend working at CalPERS. This stage will also establish SLTIF unique goals for the year.

STAGE 2: WELCOME TO CALPERS (SEPTEMBER)

Fellows will move to Sacramento, California and join a training program. They will then be placed on teams and rotations.

STAGE 3: STANFORD RETREAT (JANUARY)

Fellows return to Stanford to share learnings and begin designing a final “case study” they will seek to complete in the Winter and Spring.

STAGE 4: CALPERS PROJECT (JANUARY TO JULY)

With 3 months under their belt, Fellows return to CalPERS for an intense Winter and Spring of work and apprenticeship. During this time, they will also collect data for a case study they will eventually publish upon completion of their Fellowship.

STAGE 5: DEBRIEFING / WRITING AT STANFORD (AUGUST)

Fellows will return to Stanford and write up their findings. They will then present their findings to their peers and incoming students.

STAGE 6: TEACHING AT STANFORD AND COMPLETION (END OF AUGUST)

The outgoing Fellows will teach the incoming Fellows as part of a “Learning at Stanford” event. This will include presentations of case studies and panels on different aspects of working at CalPERS (and other LTIs).
