Queen Mary MSc Investment Fund
Queen Mary MSc Investment Fund (QUMMIF) is a student-managed investment fund, based in the School of Economics and Finance, that currently has responsibility for over £40,000 of investments.
It is one of the only investment clubs of its kind in London, established for postgraduate students interested in obtaining relevant, practical work experience in trading and portfolio analysis.
It provides postgraduate students with:
- Work-relevant skills in investment, portfolio analysis, and trading
- Opportunities to network with fellow students, academics, and city professionals
Participants analyse companies, industries, and asset classes and develop practical investment and trading strategies. The work is done in teams which compete against each other to provide the best analysis. We provide participants with tools, teachings and advice necessary to learn about analysing asset classes, sectors and financial markets, allowing students the chance to familiarize themselves with the financial world and apply their academic knowledge of finance and economics to reality, as in many cases the two are very different.
QUMMIF participants are also given the opportunity to take part in industry certified training programmes, events and competitions (which include cash prizes) sponsored by the club. QUMMIF thrives in a multicultural student environment and identifies the potential in every member as crucial in achieving the goals and objectives of the club.
QUMMIF Team "Boondocks" consisting of Ramone Abbott-Jones (lead analyst), Chike Egbunike and Chidiebere Iwuanyanwu achieved remarkable success in the Worldwide Bloomberg Trading Challenge 2023. Competing against 2,007 teams with 10,434 participants, the team ranked 53rd in the world and 11th in Europe."
