Our Concept
Our pitch story in a clear, structured overview.
Who we are?
- BSU: 30+ years old
- First online stock market game in Switzerland
- 2025 → 800 participants
The problem
- University → only theory
- Not enough case studies on what makes great companies win
- No project-based experiences (events, team management)
Current solution
- Thrown into the real world without practice
- Learning only on the job is not ideal
What if instead...?
- Real-world live analysis of companies
- Real portfolio (CHF 10,000) → real consequences
- Historically proven framework (value investing)
- Community of passionate portfolio managers
What’s the dream?
- Real-world experience before actually working
- 100+ applicants per year
- Events with investors
- Highly selective stock picking
Is this going to work?
- Investment Society Lausanne already proved the model with Swissquote
- Managed by BSU
- All profits stay in the fund and within BSU ownership
What’s the structure?
- 6 meetings at semester start, 2 groups pitch 1 stock
- Students split into groups with one team leader
- Each group researches one company and pitches it
- Ideas can come from VIC (Value Investors Club)
- The CIO is responsible for final stock picks
What bigger trends are we part of?
- Individual stock picking
- Asset management
