Mandate
McGill’s Engineering Investment Group aims to bridge the gap between engineering and finance by providing an outlet for engineering students to learn and share their thoughts about the ever-changing world of finance. We plan to educate engineering students through real-life investment activities, events, and guest speaker sessions. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded people to share their thoughts and challenge each other’s ideas.
The group's primary objective is to manage a balanced investment portfolio and showcase the merit of McGill Engineering students to large financial institutions. We will organize activities for members to demonstrate their investment skills and become a part of our Fund Management Team. We aim to provide students with the information and tools required to properly analyze and evaluate stocks. Our hope is that students will take with them the skills they learn to create opportunities for a career in the financial sector upon graduation. In addition, industry leaders will be invited to talk and share their career advise specific to engineering students.
