I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in banking and finance.

I decided to join the club board to immerse myself deeper into the financial world, driven by a genuine passion for understanding market dynamics and investment strategies. Engaging in analysis within the club offers a hands-on opportunity to gain practical experience, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Communications
Selin Acar
Having always had a keen interest in the financial markets, I joined the Investment Club. I was mainly inspired by the core mission of the club, which is not only to provide a platform for students to apply their knowledge and gain experience, but also to bridge the gap between academia and industry. My personal goal is also to encourage female students to embrace the world of finance with confidence and determination.
Advisory Board
Former board members can join the advisory board, where they contribute their experience, strategic insights, and extensive network of connections to support the current board.
Founder
Gianluca Pierallini
I’m drawn to investing because it opens up endless possibilities to learn about all sorts of companies and sectors. Currently in my last semester at UZH studying Business Administration, I’ve found our club, filled with engaging students, to be the perfect spot for lively discussions on how to analyse companies. It’s like we’re getting a head start on mastering the tools of the trade before we dive into the financial world.
Founder
Nicolas Michel
In investing, it pays to be a generalist. It combines elements of business, economics, psychology, sociology, history, politics, technology, and law, as all have an impact on the markets. The goal is to be an intellectually honest investigative journalist who reaches the right conclusions before the market does and then waits until the market agrees. Therefore, it is very enriching to have students from diverse backgrounds collaborate to arrive at these right conclusions while learning from experienced business and investment managers.
