About Us
Founded in 2001, The Forward Investment Club is the largest financial careers student community at the Waseda University, representing over 800 members. Our mission is to improve members' understanding of investment management; to help members develop practical investment skills and test them in the markets; and to create superior access to career opportunities in the investment industry.
What We Do
Talks
The Forward Investment Club has the privilege of hosting multiple distinguished speakers each year to discuss a broad range of topics from investment, finance and economics. At our keynote speaker events, members can hear about the latest insights in finance and investment and have a unique opportunity to engage in dialogue with some of the professional world’s most prominent figures.
Community
At Investment Club meetings you will begin to see familiar faces – these are the people who share your interest and passion in investing. We coordinate regular mixers to help in getting to know one another. Eventually, you’ll notice that many of these faces will become friendships, which we aspire to have you carry on with you post your time at Waseda University.
Competition
The Forward Investment Club proudly organizes Japan’s largest student-run investment competition, where participants engage in a months-long challenge to demonstrate their practical investment management skills. This prestigious event attracts top talent from universities across the country, offering a distinctive opportunity for aspiring investors to showcase their abilities in a real-world setting. In 2023, Waseda University emerged as the champion, exemplifying the high level of expertise and dedication within our community.
