Members of The Investment Society, both at the Non-Executive and Executive levels, can bridge the gap between literature and practice with opportunities to expand their core understanding of finance and explore pathways to achieve success academically, professionally, and even into retirement.
Get InvolvedThere are no specific requirements to be part of The Investment Society other than being a student at the University of Canterbury. Admittance to the Society is free and once part of the Society, members have full access to our calendar year of events which comprise a number of practical-based workshops, academic tutorials, competitions, career-based networking events, and social events.
Members can be part of the Society both at the Non-Executive and Executive levels.
We aim to provide students with the foundational knowledge required to make decisions now that ultimately result in a more financially assured future.
In recent years, we have expanded into various areas including academic tutorials, practical workshops to give our members more industry knowledge and skills, Women in Finance initiatives to promote and celebrate diversity, and social events to build meaningful relationships.
The Investment Society operates as a not-for-profit organization. Through our network both within the University and Industry, we are fortunate enough to be sponsored by leading organizations that give us the capability to achieve our mission of educating the next generation on financial literacy to address inequality.
From building foundational skills to life-long relationships, The Investment Society aims to have a meaningful impact within the University of Canterbury ecosystem, and as we expand, the broader Canterbury community.
Every year The Investment Society hosts a number of different events from networking seminars, competitions, workshops, and social events; all aimed at giving our members the best chance to succeed in both their University studies and post-university life.
