Relevant Experience
Internal:

Recep7on.

Prepara,on
Improve the provision
of skills training, host
highly specialised talks
and restructure the
Research Division to
provide dynamic,
targeted informa7on to
best equip our
members for the
recruitment and
selec7on process.

Collabora,on
Create a more
interconnected society;
this would be realised
through social events,
an on-going alumni
program and through
crea7ng internal
dialogue between
divisions and between
the subcommi@ee and
our members.

Integra,on
Work with other
socie7es to maximise
eciency and create
tangible value for
members. I would work
to develop grander
events, build on the
success of the ibc and
provide access to a
greater range of
events.

Detailed Manifesto
Prepara,on

1. Training: Maintain and improve the provision of skills training and interview support; using both
internal and external resources. We already have a successful partnership with Fitch learning which will
become an area of greater focus, however, we will also seek to provide internal clinics focusing on CV
skills, interview technique and competency ques7ons; leveraging the knowledge of exis7ng members.

2. Workshops: Create a series of specialised workshops to give members a keen insight into specic areas
of nance; gaining a keen insight into what certain roles entail. I would also work to create a brieng,
containing comprehensive background nancial informa7on, to prepare members for the interview stage.

3. Research: Expand and restructure the Research Division; delivering more concise and contemporary
market analysis for our members on a frequent basis. I will aim to provide a bi-monthly report, detailing
the state of the markets, to provide our members with the informa7on they need to succeed.

Collabora,on

1. Eciency: Formalise co-opera7on with other nancial socie7es; aiming to establish an inter-societal
framework to ll undersubscribed events: a quid pro quo, whereby a nancial society could use other
socie7es to ll empty places. I believe this would give our members access to a wider range of events,
while also suppor7ng our exis7ng events.
2. Conferences: The Finance Society is currently proud to host the Investment Banking Conference I
wish to con7nue working closely with the conference organisers to make this the gurehead of our
outreach program; promo7ng the professional development of a global pool of students and raising the
prole of our society.

3. Ambi,ous Events: Enter into discussions about pooling resources, for bigger events and training
sessions; while s7ll maintaining the societys individual reputa7on and compe77ve edge.

Integra,on

1. Socials: Create social events to forge a more interconnected society; not simply an ac7ve sub
commi@ee with peripheral members. Whether one wants to develop ones future professional network or
simply enjoy themselves these events would mark a gestalt shi[ in the societys culture!

2. Alumni Program: Create a Finance Society Alumni Program with the op7on for exis7ng members to
join upon leaving the LSE; members will receive The Analyst and be part of an invite-only LinkedIn group.
Maintaining connec7ons with former Finance Society Members will not only provide opportunity for
members when they leave, but would also aord us a pla_orm to create more ambi7ous networking
events and mentoring schemes for exis7ng members.

3. Internal Mee,ngs: Encourage internal dialogue and collabora7on between divisions: I would establish
twice termly mee7ngs between the subcommi@ees and would work to create an atmosphere of
coopera7on within the execu7ve commi@ee.
