Minerva Investment Management Society is the first and leading Asset Management student association at Bocconi University.   The Society is formed of around 50 active members split into five divisions with different tasks: - Portfolio Management: management of three proprietary funds applying in-house macro outlooks, trading ideas and investment strategies. All funds invest across a wide range of asset classes and investment products and seek to provide stable income and long-term capital growth; - Risk Management: analysis of the investment risk embedded in Minerva portfolios through different VaR methodologies, bootstrapping and portfolio optimization; - Equity Research: corporate valuation on a wide pool of companies using DCF, multiples, DDM and LBO models; - Macro Research: analysis of macroeconomic news and financial markets trends; - Markets & Alternatives: analysis of financial markets and instruments through trading, structuring and pricing analysis. Our main objectives are: - Bridging the gap between the academic world and the financial services industry by organizing yearly public competitions and events with professionals from leading financial institutions; - Providing our members with relevant technical and soft skills to help them succeeding in their future careers through private meetings and trainings; - Offering financial advisory to external individuals and publishing reports and articles about market updates, investment strategies and stock analyses. Minerva Alumni Network grows year by year with the brightest minds that contributed actively to the Society and finally landed into a job at leading asset management firms, investment banks and private equity funds.
