SIF students and Finance Club members embark on a trip to Toronto
Students from the Student Investment Fund (SIF) program and members of the Finance embarked on a trip to Toronto during the 2nd week of January 2010. The students were in Toronto from Tuesday January 12, 2010 to Friday January 15, 2010. They were promoting the SIF program and their outstanding investment performance as well as learning more about the investment industry.
They visited many firms on both the buy side and the sell side.
- Buy side: McLean Budden, UBS Global Asset Mgmt, Fidelity, Sprucegrove investments, Phillips Hager & North and Brandes
- Sell side: Desjardins, TD Securities, Versant Partners, and RBC Capital Markets
The SIF students, Finance Club members and UNB alumni, opened the Toronto Stock Exchange. The TMX Group has been a partner with the SIF program since 2006. In fact, the TMX Group Boardroom, housed within UNB's Faculty of Business Administration, is where all the SIF investment decisions are made.
The students also went for events such as the Annual Interest Rate Forecast, Effective Networking and Credit Management at the Banks which were organized by the Toronto CFA Society.
