Dedicated and self-contained team of 50 running weekly meetings, providing
intuitive and unique market insights for students both at LSE and elsewhere.
Publishes Perspectives, the largest independent journal at the LSE; platform for
both standard and native advertisement exclusive to sponsors. Its objective is to
provide a unique view on the different asset classes and markets.
Perspectives is formed to help the reader understand the IRG view on the
markets that is generated every month, through top-down research articles
covering industries and macro-trends, to bottom-up articles covering individual
securities.

Investment Banking Conference:
The Investment Society is the principal sponsor and partner of the IBC for the
8th consecutive year, and is therefore the primary stakeholder of the event.
The Investment Society, as designated sponsor, is heavily engaged with the IBC’s
preparation for the 2018 Investment Banking Conference – set at the Barbican
Centre to accommodate the largest number of delegates yet.
It is also the main vehicle for the conference’s marketing platform and thus an
important contributor to the event’s performance as Europe’s largest student-
run conference on the finance industry.

8
Career Mentorship Programme:
The Career Mentorship Program aims to provide personalized support for
Freshers.
Those successfully selected into the group will be mentored by a senior LSE
student who has previous experience in Spring/Summer Internships. There will
also be a online forum to share resources and engage in discussions.
In 2017, we recruited 20 mentors to guide 40 mentees and the program will
continue its second run in 2018.

Others:
Other LSE Investment Society ventures include:
- Value Investing Club: Exclusive platform for the brightest and most
inquisitive minds within the society to share their ideas on security selection,
focusing mainly on a unique and modern take on the value approach that is
more applicable to the markets today.
- Women’s Advancement: Designed to support, inspire and celebrate women
considering work in the financial industry. It informs and equips women for
realities and challenges they may face after leaving LSE in order to meet the
objective of projecting women towards success.
- Financial Careers Asia: Seeks to organise events for students to gain exposure
in the working environments of Asia and their vast work opportunities.
Promotes students to work in Asia beyond the Asian community at LSE for
greater diversity.
