Welcome to the Stirling University Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF), the largest academic society at the University of Stirling and one of the most active communities on campus.
SMIF is more than just a society, it’s a hands-on platform where students learn to manage a real investment portfolio, develop financial and analytical skills, and gain exposure to the world of professional investing. Whether you’re brand new to finance or already have market experience, we provide a collaborative space to learn, network, and grow.
Our activities range from weekly career events and portfolio reviews to interactive workshops on research, valuation, and trading strategies. We host exclusive events with industry leaders, including portfolio managers, equity analysts, venture capitalists, corporate strategists, and recruiters: offering members first-hand insights into how the finance industry works.
Many SMIF members go on to secure internships and graduate roles at top global institutions, thanks to the skills, knowledge, and connections they gain here. We’re proudly partnered with leading recruitment organisations and maintain strong ties with investment societies across the UK, enabling joint events, cross-university competitions, and unmatched networking opportunities.
If you’re looking to build real-world experience, meet like-minded peers, and open doors to your future career, SMIF is the place to start :)
