The Fund was initially established in 1977 with a gift from Richard Link, and named in honor of legendary banker Charles Blyth. Blyth Funds were also initially created at Stanford and Caltech, but only Stanford's remains active today.

Our Fund is wholly student managed. We choose a 14-person board each spring, study the stock market and maintain a portfolio. We buy and sell as we see fit. Throughout its history, the Blyth Fund has maintained two primary goals:

1. Asset Preservation
2. Education
