The Student Investment Fund is a transformative opportunity that gave me the chance to take what I learned in the classroom and dive straight into the real-world of financial markets. Through the SIF, I developed exceptional research skills, with a strong sense of responsibility toward sustainability, and was also provided invaluable opportunities to network with industry professionals, esteemed academics, and high-achieving peers – connections that continue to support my career today. The SIF is a must-have on the CV of any aspiring investment professional.

The student managed investment fund enabled me to put in practice all the theory I have learnt in finance. The most important thing I have learnt through the course is how to communicate and think dynamically from an investment analyst perspective."
