Clubs and Guest Speakers

Simon Finance and Investment Club

The Simon Finance and Investment Club (SFIC) provides members with a one-stop resource to learn about careers in finance and investment-related fields. SFIC gives students a forum to ask questions and receive mentorship and guidance, with an overarching goal of preparing its members to secure summer and full-time roles. Through Simon alumni and the Career Management Center’s recruiting connections, the club seeks to foster and maintain strong relationships with corporations in order to provide members with as many opportunities to enter the finance-related fields as possible. This is an interest-based club with a well-defined merit-based process to fill the board positions available for those who display aspirations for a career in finance or investment roles. The privileges of membership will include industry specific training, access to the Meliora Fund, mentorship, and access to networking events such as the annual Simon Finance and Investment Conference in NYC. Other events include: pitch competitions, trading competitions, case competitions, mock interview preparation, firm-wide presentations, cocktail networking events, CV reviews, financial valuation and modeling workshops, and career fair preparation.
