Activities
What do we do?
BRIKS is built on three core pillars: investing, career development, and friendship. We offer a unique opportunity for students to enhance their investment knowledge and develop their professional skills while building lasting friendships with like-minded individuals.
Investing is BRIKS at its core. At BRIKS you learn and participate from day one, as you will get the opportunity to become a shareholder and test your own analysis against the critical minds of the sharpest of peers. With an experienced network, BRIKS offers a unique environment to learn about value investing at a pace not possible otherwise.
The portfolio of BRIKS is selected through value investing analysis during our weekly meetings. This sort of analysis is performed and mastered by all our members. At BRIKS we invest in undervalued stocks and follow up on a regular basis to refine our positions. In the process, each shareholder is given equal weight and equal profit. This ensures that new members are involved to the fullest from the start and can learn investment tools and skills from more experienced BRIKS shareholders.
Investing
BRIKS offers a pool of skills and knowledge, which we share with each other. First and foremost, BRIKS will give you the tools and skills to analyze, present, and debate investment opportunities. On a weekly basis, several of these analyses are presented, as well as the macroeconomic news and its impact on the markets.
As a member, you will get help and advice regarding your career. This relates to, but is not limited to, guidance in career choices, creating the perfect curriculum vitae and cover letter, and learning how to ace your interviews. Often, you will be advised by these alumni that have already done a similar interview/applied for a similar position, so they can give you a well-suited preparation.
Career development
At BRIKS, you will meet and connect with like-minded individuals who share your interests, and build friendships that last a lifetime.
Our BRIKS Leuven branch often organizes dinners, summer trips, picnics, padel tournaments, etc. We also host networking dinners, summer events, and weekend getaways where you can connect with our alumni.
We foster a supportive and collaborative environment where friendships can flourish, and members can have fun and enjoy the journey together.
