Wall Street Club BITS Goa

Wall Street Club is a group of undergraduate students from BITS Pilani K.K. Birla Goa Campus who aim to create a smart class of future investors, traders and quants. The coordinating committee of the club is a group of skilled finance enthusiasts, from various branches of engineering. The core consists of a team of second-year students from different disciplines, having a keen interest in finance. Leaders of our team from previous years have also been placed at reputed companies and marked their names in the field of finance. In our activities, we discuss Global and Domestic Markets, Investment opportunities, and trading strategies in stocks and financial derivatives which we try in our personal stock portfolios. We are venturing into Quantitative Finance, with many members working part-time as quantitative research consultants at hedge funds like TrexQuant LLP and Asset Management Companies like WorldQuant LLC. A team of sophomores have also cracked the International Quant Championship and are the current Indian Champions, who will be representing India at the International Finals to be held in Singapore in September 2018. There is a dedicated Quant vertical, working towards combining various financial strategies, advanced mathematics, and programming to create robust and efficient algorithms that can be traded in markets. We also hold lectures on Basics of Economics, Fundamental and Technical Analysis of Stocks, Equity and Commodity Derivatives, Forex, and Cryptocurrencies. We had the CEO and MD of MCX India, Mr. Mrugank Paranjape for MoneyTalks 2017 which saw participation from over 200 students on campus. He addressed the condition of commodity markets in India, the insider know-how of the exchange, the latest advancements and career prospects in the financial markets, how the students can make a career, and life lessons from his journey in becoming a top-ranked CEO.
