Presentation
he year 1999 marked the launch of ICFS, one of the largest, most proactive student societies in the country. From around 250 members at that time, we have grown to over 2400 members at present through pro-actively developing our offering to our members and sponsors. During this time we have forged strong links to some of the largest and most prestigious firms in industry. Throughout this time we have received the full backing of the Imperial College Business School, and we continue to work closely with them..
The Imperial College Finance Society (ICFS) is the premier society for students looking for city careers. With over 2400 members, we are the largest and most successful careers focused society on campus. The results alone can be seen in the achievements of the committee, with all those that have applied to date, achieving spring week placements or internships, as well as numerous bursaries. The result of so many members going on to get the city jobs that they have sought, is the growth of an extensive network of alumni still involved with the society today. This offers invaluable advice and experience to new members to help them land their dream job.
We also organise talks and presentations on various financial topics such as derivatives, the recent global financial crisis, emerging markets etc. These are given by prominent speakers, who are experts in their respective fields.
In addition to this we are building relationships with other academic institutions worldwide, to share ideas and collectively pool knowledge and resources. In 2007-2008 ICFS initiated the UK’s very first student led Inter-University Trading Game (IUTG) which saw about 500 students from Imperial College, Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick and LSE take part. The IUTG has now become an annual event sponsored by RBS. With 2010 bringing about the first year of the UK Investment banking series (www.UIBS.co.uk), if you fancy yourself as a trader or a banker, there has never been a better time to join.
Another great opportunity available to members is the ICU Investment Club. Following the impressive developments over the last year, this will undoubtedly provide an excellent platform to learn and discuss the opportunities of investing. Utilizing first-hand experience as the best way to learn about the markets and understand the rationale of making stock choices.
Activities
We aim, through a number of different initiatives and events, to provide our members with abundant resources to enable them to learn as much about careers in finance and business as possible. We aim to achieve this by:
Providing a platform for Imperial College Students interested in finance/business to learn more about the industry, interact with professionals and foster relationships with a wide network of individuals.
Providing a vibrant and caring community that brings out the best in our members by encouraging and rewarding initiative, creative thinking, professionalism and active contribution.
As a society we look to help our members to grow as individuals, developing certain core values that we want to carry into our chosen profession, including: integrity, leadership, team work, professionalism and responsibility. We aim to provide an environment in which members can develop these and other traits, which are key attributes of successful business leaders.
CFS will offer a reliable and professional service, utilizing the money invested efficiently to offer the best value to sponsors. The society will raise the on campus profile of our sponsors through a broad scope of marketing methods, utilizing strong on-campus links established over time.
