Nova investment club
Undergraduate division



The Nova Investment Club - Undergraduate Division's objective is to stimulate students’ interest and understanding of financial markets and to bridge the gap between the corporate and academic world.



MISSION AND VALUES





Being our best at doing our best is more than ideal: IT IS NECESSARY


While an organization is only as good as the individuals that integrate it and the sum of parts is greater than the whole which they comprise, these general properties are arguably applicable in some fashion to most organized attempts at an activity. At NIC-UD, the sum of parts culminates entirely with the personal development of each member. Seeking the most ambitious and finance-minded Nova SBE undergraduate students is both an attempt to ensure the best possible background for personal and professional development as well as an attempt to guarantee the quality of support necessary for each of those driven members.

Striving for personal and professional excellence through individual dedication and mutual support is thus ensured in a culture where the success of each member is celebrated and cultivated by NIC-UD as a whole, creating a lifelong network of individuals who, besides being able to excel year after year in job market placement, permanently feel the effects of the support they once received, gave, and may continue to foster.

WHAT WE DO





The fields of corporate finance, investing and capital markets are subject to a varying dissonance between the level of knowledge reasonably expected to be acquired solely from undergraduate-level education and the insight into practical, institutional, real-world applications most privileged by prominent employers.


NIC-UD fosters this level of insight, fundamentally, through weekly rounds of activities designed to maximize its members’ familiarity with these fields. The development of morning calls (short presentations on current financial news) keeps members informed of relevant world events and ways of assimilating and synthesizing information to be analyzed, while stock and investment pitches normalize the bisection and analysis of companies and financial instruments. Deep dives on specific, business-related topics provide in-depth looks into both useful and interesting particularities or subtopics that can introduce members to whole new relevant and clever outlooks, fields, or even career possibilities, while market wraps, written round-ups of current financial news, further contribute to solidify one’s approach to analyzing the world around them as instinctive. Additionally, at NIC-UD, members collaborate on the monthly publication of its newsletter, NIC Undergrad Review (NUR), as well as on the analysis of the NIC-UD Fund's quarterly performance, which is published on a quarterly basis in the form of a report.


Just as fundamental as weekly activities is the systemic exposure to the job market. Networking events, internal workshops, and exchange sessions with prominent companies and NIC alumni are frequent, with the permanent support of the Buddy Program, which ensures ongoing bespoke counselling to members regarding their careers and corresponding internship and job applications, helping secure outcomes in particularly relevant firms, with Bain & Company, BCG, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and McKinsey & Company serving as past examples.



WHAT WE ADD





In order to not needlessly limit the reach of NIC-UD’s benefits, public activities are equally hosted, as well as the Review Hours initiative, through which students can contact the club and schedule one-on-one sessions for career advice - including CV/ cover letter reviews and mock interviews for investment banking/ consulting roles.


NIC-UD is pleased to announce a new cooperation with Nova SBE’s curricular internship course directed by Professor Leonor Ferreira. This initiative bridges the gap between the students’ studies and their future career by encouraging undergraduates to gain real-world experience in fields related to their academic degree. Partaking in the course will allow you to share your experience with peers while receiving constructive evaluation. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be awarded 3.5 ECTS. Enrollment in the course is available through Moodle here.
