About
The Cambridge University Investment Club is the pre-eminent student run Investment Society operating three funds, namely, the Relative Return Fund, Absolute Return Fund and the new Real Estate Investment Fund.
All CUIC members have the opportunity to help manage the club’s growing Investment Fund, as well as developing their interest in the world of finance & investment. A wide variety of lectures and selected company encounters are on offer to provide information and choices about a career in finance.
Over the academic year 2008-09 we will be organising a variety of innovative and interactive events in collaboration with our sponsors: MAN Group, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, UBS, RBS, HSBC, Fidelity and Barclays Capital (2008-09). These events are open to all members of the University of Cambridge.
Students at all levels of understanding are invited to build their investment knowledge in supportive study groups run by the more experienced sector heads. The club provides beginners with tools, teaching and advice necessary to learn about analysing companies, sectors and markets.
Through a multitude of environments – from the exchange of ideas in small teams to presentations, guest speeches, lectures and networking events – CUIC offers a great training ground for those with a genuine interest in finance and a desire to work in the financial sector.
The Relative Return Fund is currently investing in 7 sectors:
| Sector | Name | CRSid |
| Financial Services | TBC | TBC |
| Health & Pharma | TBC | TBC |
| Consumer Goods | TBC | TBC |
| Industrial | TBC | TBC |
| Mining & Metals | TBC | TBC |
| Oil & Gas | TBC | TBC |
| TMT | TBC | TBC |
Supporting charities
We use our sponsors contributions to generate investment returns which can be then used to support valuable causes, such as charities.
Last year, we donated part of our profits from the CUIC Equity Fund to sponsor a scholarship at the Judge Business School.
