Description

Discover Lancaster University's only investment society, bringing consulting, accounting, business and investing into one place.

 

We aim to increase members financial knowledge and awareness of the varying opportunities available in the sector- encouraging our members to build their professional network every step of the way.  We are proud organisers of a variety of exceptional events, such as our flagship ‘Lancaster Forum’ event, giving our members the perfect opportunity to network with industry professionals and gain an insight into life at Jefferies, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, Barings, EY Parthenon, and the list goes on!

 

There is also an opportunity to join our very own Ghosal Investment Fund which aims to develop a deep understanding of financial markets, experience equity investment on a first-hand basis and gain exposure to real-life situations related to asset management. Everyone from first-years to PhD students is welcome to apply for a position!

 

We are committed to professional development, organising a variety of workshops to develop the skills needed in the sector.

 

Our successful initiatives include:

• Access - Our initiative designed to bring together diversity and inclusion events into one space. Making it easier for those underrepresented in High Finance to find opportunities available for them and network with established professionals.
• Sell-Side Institute - The M&A research arm of LUIFS designed to equip our students with sufficient commercial-awareness and technical understanding of investment banking.
• Black-Scholes Research- Teaching students the necessary fundamental and technical skills needed to succeed in Finance.

Previous LUIFS members have said time and time again that getting involved in the society provided them with the transferable skills and industry contacts necessary to give them an edge to succeed in job applications.

 

We also run a series of social events for members where they can meet others interested in finance and engage in the subject without being solely focused on careers!

 

So what are you waiting for?  No matter your degree discipline, if you have a passion for the industry or want to find out more about the financial sector, this is the society for you!
