About the Investment Society
About TIS
We are a multi-disciplinary and academically diverse society founded in 2016 by a group of University of Lagos students keen on sharing and expanding their knowledge of investment, finance and consulting.
First of its kind in any Nigerian University, we aim to teach, educate, groom and prepare members for elite careers in finance, investment and consulting. As a society that thrives on knowledge; we also aim to provide our members with the strong foundation necessary to lunch a successful career – whilst also working hard to achieve excellent academic grades.
We aim to bridge the gap between the industry and aspiring investment, finance and consulting professionals through sponsor-led workshops, intensive training programs, stock pitches, business case competitions, networking sessions, and on-campus recruiting events.
