Investment Society

Joining the Investment Society will give you an excellent opportunity to understand the complex world of finance, make friends and built your employability skills.

Hi, we're the Investment Society.

What do we do?

Virtual Money Funds

We have created an investment fund which you can help us manage, regardless of your experience. You will have the opportunity to pitch stocks for the fund each semester. This is an excellent opportunity to build your CV, especially for those wishing to work for a hedge fund, investment bank or asset manager. As part of this, we post monthly reports on stock markets and the performance of our fund.

Education

The Society encourages those to pursue the Bloomberg markets Concept Certification. This is a free certification available to all Society members covering economic inducators, fixed income, currencies and equities. 

Career Benefits & Prospects

Workshops - CV/Cover Letter/LinkedIn - if you're confused about anything, please reach out and we will try to make it happen.

Internship and Graduate Opportunities - Companies often let us know about opportunities to work for them or visit them, and you'll be the first to know.

Socials & Trips

We hit the town at least once a month, and when we do, it's always special - expect VIP and lots and lots of vodka. 

Annual Trip - in previous years we have visited Berlin, Budapest and Prague. We will plan a trip abroad for next year if restrictions allow, alternatively we may organise a domestic trip.

Your Privacy

You can view our standard society privacy statements here. If this particular society has any amendments to this privacy statement, they will be shown below.

HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We also ask to collect your year of study to tailor our schedule of events to suit all society members.

We also organise an Annual Trip to a place of interest, usually in Europe. We ask to collect your name, email, date of birth and passport expiry date to book you and the rest of the group in on the trip should you wish to attend.

This data is then shared with external providers for flights, hotels etc. which vary year to year. Please ask the committee to verify the providers used for the relevant trip.
