Clarksville, TN (01/31/2024) — Austin Peay State University's student-managed investment fund has set a record number of member certifications in Bloomberg Market Concepts, a globally recognized achievement in the financial industry.

This achievement reflects the individual commitment of each member and the collective strength and collaborative spirit that defines the club. It further establishes the Govs Fund as a leader in cultivating a culture of excellence and continuous learning within the finance department.
