We are an educational platform that provides highly motivated students with a groundwork in financial theory, a setting to discuss and analyze fundamental market movements, fluency in generating real-world investment theses, and the opportunity to learn with peers and industry experts in an intellectually stimulating environment. Additionally, we have a strong focus on career preparation and enabling professional development.
We achieve this through an immersive Training Program that empowers our members to develop the skills needed to become sophisticated investors. From presenting stock pitches, to participating in intra-club stock simulation competitions, devoting time to market discussions, and producing investment reports, members also have a chance to test their knowledge and gain valuable hands-on experience.
We are committed to ensuring diversity across our organization by welcoming prospective members from all years, academic programs, and backgrounds. While previous experience is an asset for applicants, it is certainly not required. We are constantly looking to recruit talented individuals who will add value to our team and proactively contribute towards the club's activities and overall success. Furthermore, we have implemented an open-door policy in several of our events and made much of our educational material publicly available. Any and all University of Toronto students who wish to explore the financial services industry and are interested in learning more about UTIBC are invited to participate.
We have the ambitious goal of launching the “UTIBC Impact Fund" by Fall 2023. This will give members the opportunity to further apply theory to real-world markets, hone their portfolio management skills, and, importantly, make meaningful contributions towards addressing environmental and social issues in Canada. We plan to contribute a portion of the fund’s returns towards supporting financial aid at U of T.
