Finance
The Finance Committee is for everyone interested in, or curious about finance. The committee is in charge of all finance related projects in Uppsalaekonomerna. These projects include lectures, company visits and different workshops about subjects such as investment banking, funding or how to write a good resume.
Involvement in the Finance Committee will hence be an excellent way to gain deeper knowledge about possible future work within the financial sector. We are continuously striving for all of our activities to be of great value and relevance regardless of what semester you are on, or to what extent you are engaged in our committee. If you are even remotely interested in what is going on in the financial world, we want to give you all the tools necessary to gain further knowledge and open possibilities for future work within the finance sector.
Finance Committee Meetings
The Finance Committee has meetings every other thursday, 15:15-16:15 on odd weeks. For every meeting we have a new theme and a new guest. You don’t need to sign up to participate, just show up. Our meetings are an excellent way to get in touch with us for the first time. No knowledge about finance is required to attend our meetings. We’re hoping to see you there!

Uppsalaekonomerna Asset Management
Uppsalaekonomerna Asset Management (UEAM) is a part of the Finance Committee tasked to manage a portion of the liquid assets of Uppsalaekonomerna. UEAM manages one portfolio containing stocks and three portfolios containing funds. The purpose of this is to enhance the knowledge of equity research, risk management and portfolio management. It is also to become more attractive with future employees and in the long run generate income to Uppsalaekonomerna.
The group is composed by two portfolio managers, five equity researchers and one risk analyst. The portfolio managers have the main responsibility as well as the final say regarding investing decisions. The equity researchers are tasked to analyze companies, both currently owned but also new investing opportunities. The risk analyst main task is to produce statistical support that will indicate the risk level of both individual investment opportunities and the portfolio.
The group meets on a weekly basis to discuss potential investments, present the written analyses and evaluate the portfolios. The investment analyses are primarily based on fundamental analysis. This means that emphasis is put on the historical development of the company and the situation today to estimate how the future will unravel. Furthermore, the company’s operation, management, competitors, outlook etc. is analyzed. This is supplemented by a valuation of the price of the stock which results in a target price and thus a final decision.
Uppsalaekonomerna Asset Management is looking for new candidates every semester. We are primarily looking for students with an interest for the financial markets, who are looking to learn more about valuation and lastly are willing to work to achieve the aforementioned goals of the group. Keep an eye on the webpage for upcoming application periods and make sure to meet us when we visit the finance committee’s meetings.
