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.

Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact Christy for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!

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.

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.

Speaker Sessions - Offering insightful evenings with experts in the investment and finance field from Abrdn, Aegon and Raymond James. 

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

We hit the town at least twice a month, and when we do, it's always special - working with our sponsor Dropkick Murphys. 

We also offer sober socials for those who do not drink alchol.

If we get the required 10 members, we can start the society and you will become a full member!

We Need You!

This society doesn't have any leaders to run it for this year.

If you're interested in being part of the committee leading this society, then we'd love to hear from you and explain the process.

Just email Christy on C.O'Toole@hw.ac.uk and we'll be in touch!

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.
