We are thrilled to announce our newly appointed board members for the academic year 2024-2025. A huge thanks to the previous board for their outstanding work and dedication. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead!

With the academic year coming to an end, we would like to invite you to our final event: the VIC debate. This year, we will delve deeper into the different strategies used by investors: technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Investors who use fundamental analysis are guided by figures. They analyze the financial health of a company and compare its performance with other interesting enterprises. Technical analysts, on the other hand, assume that all important information, such as annual and quarterly figures, is incorporated into the prices. They try to identify trends in charts to find the most interesting stocks. Both strategies have different starting points but ultimately serve the same purpose: selecting the most interesting investments. During our closing debate, both strategies will be weighed against each other by experts from the financial industry. We would like to welcome you on Thursday, May 2nd, starting from 7:30 PM in auditorium Devreker. After the debate, there will be an opportunity to network at the complimentary reception. Hopefully, see you then!
