Investment Society: Vice-President - Outreach

Having been a member of UCL Investment Society this past year and having attended numerous guest talks and presentations, I have seen the importance of direct career insight from high quality speakers. I am standing as outreach VP to continue the experience of inviting and learning from finance professionals, and to use feedback from members and previous events to continue Investment Society's reputation as the top educational and career-driven finance society at UCL.

Why I’m the Right Candidate

I bring proven outreach and event coordination experience from roles in the Hedge Fund Society (Treasurer) and the Guild Society (VP Outreach). I’ve connected students with industry professionals and fostered impactful growth opportunities. I’m eager to apply these skills to elevate the Investment Society’s reach and impact.

Key Priorities

1. Strategic Partnerships
   • Expand industry ties and sponsorships
   • Leverage existing networks for fresh collaborations
2. Event Innovation
   • Diversify workshops, panels, and competitions
   • Boost engagement with targeted marketing
3. Community Building
   • Maintain open feedback channels
   • Foster inclusivity and representation

My Commitment

• Expand Opportunities: Secure diverse speakers and hands-on learning experiences
• Strengthen Networks: Build relationships connecting students to valuable resources
• Ensure Growth: Develop sustainable programs benefiting members long-term

Vote for Progress. Let’s make the Investment Society a more dynamic, resourceful platform for everyone.

I’m standing for Vice President of Outreach because of my keen interest in finance and commitment to expanding UCLIS’s network of alumni, sponsors, and industry speakers. I plan to structure the Outreach executive team into three areas: alumni, sponsors, and speakers. This will create a more focused and effective approach, ensuring stronger connections across these key groups. Additionally, I want to improve cross-team collaboration by working closely with Client Relations, Alumni Relations, and Speaker Relations. 

• Involved in Client Relations division this year, securing multiple sponsorships for the society.
• Experience and familiarity in the society, assisting during multiple events this year.
• Helped with conference organizing and attended the whole conference.

If you had invested just $1,000 in NVIDIA in 2003, you’d have over $600,000 today. Wise investments pay off, and- through my 3-pillar strategy below- I hope you see that voting for me is one of them. 

1. Expand the Finance Conference   

   The finance conference is our flagship event, but we can take it to new heights. By securing high-profile speakers from IBD to AM to PE, we’ll provide members with invaluable insights and networking opportunities, making it a must-attend event; a direct pipeline to industry leaders and career opportunities.  

2. Grow Our £10k Investment Portfolio 

   My goal is to expand our current £10k portfolio by diversifying asset classes and introducing a structured investment strategy. We’ll analyze idiosyncratic opportunities in equities and ETFs, ensuring members gain exposure to real-world portfolio management. By involving students in decision-making through an investment committee, we’ll create an environment where learning meets capturing alpha. 

3. Strengthen Mentorship

   I will organize tailored events for first, second and third year students, addressing the specific challenges and opportunities at each stage. This approach ensures that every member receives relevant, impactful experiences. Additionally, we’ll organize exclusive career development sessions covering CV building, technical interview prep, and networking strategies. 

   To make this possible, your vote is crucial. Together, let’s make our Investment Society the best it can be. I value your
