Crecer Capital - The Start

It all started with the enthu of a typical B School Student- to do something new and different.
While many of us had exposure to stock markets, still many had no or little exposure. Thus began the urge to add value to all the particiapant's. The motive of Crecer Capital was to learn while doing ( In this case investing) . Considering the importance of stock market in the corporate world, we took the plunge to start a pseudo mutual fund , something we call as a Collective Investment Vehicle – ‘ Crecer Capital’ for the participant’s of SPJIMR. Crecer is a Spanish word which means ‘to grow’ and thus became the funds name symbolizing growth not only monetarily but also in knowledge. Launched around Diwali of 2007 and managed in house, the fund received active involvement from the batch. We at Crecer believe it has been a great step taken forward at SPJIMR and hope it not only becomes an ever lasting culture at the institute but influences it in a positive manner.
After a successful first year, we passed on the responsibilities to the new batch and we are certain that they will do an even better job and take Crecer to bigger heights.....
