The Western Investment Club (WIC) is one of the largest clubs at the University of Western Ontario. Membership has risen from just five members in the 1995/1996 year to 500+ members today. The club exists to assist the student body in gaining a clear understanding of capital markets and career opportunities that are available in the investment industry. This is achieved through managing a portfolio valued over $100,000, holding seminars with industry professionals, providing opportunities to network at social events, and developing members communication skills through weekly presentations and panel discussions.
Students from all faculties are encouraged to join. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students can equally gain from and contribute to all that the WIC has to offer. Joining the Western Investment Club is a wonderful opportunity for students from all faculties to gain hands on experience dealing with real money in the capital markets. Just as importantly, WIC provides people with a chance to develop their communication skills, build solid business and academic contacts, as well, the club unites students with a common interest. Going forward, WIC will continue to provide these things to all of its members, while making every effort to build on the foundation already lay down by our alumnus.
