THE OPPORTUNITY

University Investment Clubs have developed into a mature set of organizations that provide enormous value for their members, yet they remain fragmented from each other. With little interaction and collaboration between them, there is substantial value left on the table that the Association of Canadian Intercollegiate Investment Clubs can unlock by bringing these clubs together.

The knowledge and expertise that has accumulated within these organizations deserves a greater level of intercollegiate sharing. As structural changes persist in the global financial industry, we must remain adaptive and resourceful. ACIIC can leverage our clubs’ diverse backgrounds and experiences to maximize our collective potential.

OUR MANDATE

ACIIC is a community of University Investment Clubs in Canada. It is a forum for collaboration between ambitious students who are passionate about Finance and Investing. We seek to provide the member University Investment Clubs a network, educational platform, mentorship program, in addition to a wider resource base and greater opportunities for professional development.

OUR OFFERINGS
