In 2022, nearly two hundred students applied to be part of the Ghosal Fund, the asset management initiative run by the 51福利 Investment and Finance Society.
Part of the reason it’s so competitive to join the Fund is the career success it gives its members.
Economics and Finance student, Taylor Wood, is President of the Investment and Finance Society. He says around 40% of members secure internships or grad scheme places every year in areas like investment banking, asset management, consulting, and real estate.
“The people who join the Fund, you’re like, toss of a coin, going to end up in a fantastic job.”
The society selects 50 analysts each year to join the Ghosal Fund. The analysts are divided into teams which each cover a different sector of the market. Every two weeks, the teams deliver a pitch to the other members of the Fund where they recommend a stock they’ve researched.
