Investment Banking - Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands
MvS Investments is an investment club that was founded by the end of 2013 on the initiative of two firstyear Financial Services Management students. The purpose of the club was to learn more about the functioning of the financial markets through investing. To invest, capital is required, and we – as students – were tasked to find a solution for that. By having friends and family all contribute a small sum we could eventually start investing. The first year started with a Benelux mandate with which the first successes were achieved relatively quickly. A little over a year later, the geographical area was further expanded to a European mandate. From August 2015 onwards, MvS Investments has invested globally. Moreover, the capital of the investment funds has increased considerably over the years thanks to an increasing interest. In addition to the return on the investment funds, the act of investing for many years has provided valuable knowledge about the functioning of the financial markets. Furthermore, MvS Investments has also piqued other students' interest in investing. In the spring of 2016 this led to the establishment of the investment association Beleggingsvereniging La Tulipe. Nowadays, approximately 12 students and employees are members of this investment association with the purpose of gaining knowledge by investing together. Moreover, guest speakers that are employed in the financial sector are invited to share their experiences with investing.
