A community of professionalism, curiosity, and drive.
Longhorn Macro Investors is a student-run investment organization at The University of Texas at Austin focused on financial literacy, professional development, and applied investing.
A signal of readiness.
We're a selective but supportive community where students of any major learn the basics of investing, professional polish, and how to navigate the financial world. Members come out of LMI confident in managing their own money and ready to step into any career path. Selectivity is about character — professionalism, dedication, drive — not pedigree.

— THE PORTFOLIO
Members manage a live equity portfolio.
LMI maintains an active investment portfolio held through a live brokerage account, with positions proposed by the Analyst Committee and voted on by general members. Our analysts research, pitch, and execute trades in real markets — not paper portfolios.
The LMI AI Lab is our 10-week semester program where members build real AI projects applied to investing and financial workflows. From automating equity research to building proprietary screening tools, the AI Lab is where members get hands-on with the technology reshaping finance.
