Win a paid internship with a Future IM/Pact partner
The Future IM/Pact annual investment competition is a platform for gender-based teams of 2-4 university students to get hands-on experience solving and presenting investment challenges to leading investors and advisers. Not only do students get practical exposure to the types of complex problems analysts and portfolio managers solve daily, they also have the opportunity to win a paid internship with one of our incredible partner organisations.
Proudly supported by UNIT, this is your opportunity to gain invaluable exposure to the investment management and advice industry and its leaders who are actively looking for bright university students to join their teams.

Although studying a degree in finance, I did not have much clue to what a career in investment management looked like until I participated in the Future IM/Pact investment competition.
