B&R Beurs Eindhoven
B&R Beurs Eindhoven is the student investment society of Eindhoven. Our mission is to teach students about investing and the financial world.
About us
B&R Beurs Eindhoven is a student investment society that was founded in 2016 by students from Eindhoven University of Technology. The society’s main objective is to bring together students with a keen interest in investing and financial related topics. To achieve this goal, the society is open to all Eindhoven students and provides a range of activities, such as courses, guest lectures, company events, leisure activities and weekly social drinks. Through these events, B&R Eindhoven aims to foster a sense of community while also equipping students with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the world of finance.
All members of the association can also join or create an Investment Group to participate in the Investment Competition. Each Investment Group has its own identity and is free to establish its own rules and regulations. If you want to know more, feel free to contact us or join our Information Drinks at the start of the year.

Investment competition
The Investment Competition is the core activity of B&R Beurs Eindhoven. On a weekly basis, the return and volatility are calculated through the standard deviation of the weekly returns. At the end of the academic year, the group that has achieved the highest risk-adjusted return wins the competition.
Each Investment Group participating in the competition is independent and follow sits own rules and regulations. Usually, each member in a group invests between €100 to €800 and each group is responsible for managing their own funds and making investment decisions. Participating in this competition not only provides an opportunity to learn about investing, but also provides an opportunity to make new friendships!
The groups
The competition usually starts in early November and ends in late June. Members can either join an existing group or create their own investment group with like-minded members. The Investment Competition will provide you with experience and knowledge of investing that you cannot get anywhere else.
Academy
The B&R Academy aims to teach our members about the fundamentals of investing. We provide separate courses for members who already understand and master the fundamentals of investing.
The beginner’s course will take place every week (bi-weekly later on) and will be taught by more experienced members of B&R Beurs Eindhoven. The course starts with the very basics of investing and builds on these throughout the year. On top of that a variety of in-depth academies are given on a wide range of different topics. For example: Bitcoins, Algorithm Trading, Market Making, etc. Once you have an understanding of trading and understand the fundamentals of investing, you can bring this theory into practice with your Investment Group or on your own with private investments. However, trading together in a group is highly recommended, since you can share ideas, information and theories about the financial markets. Furthermore, B&R Beurs considers the group building and its activities as a very important aspect of our society.
If you have any question or suggestions about the academy or would like to know more about certain subjects, you can always contact us.
See you in class and have fun!
