What We Do
Warwick Trading Society provides students with opportunities to develop their understanding of financial markets through education, practical experience, competitions and engagement with industry.
Our Macro, Quant and Women in Trading divisions run regular sessions across areas including global markets, discretionary trading, quantitative finance and machine learning. We also organise careers and industry events, with previous sessions involving firms such as Glencore, WorldQuant, Futures First and Wintermute, alongside Spring Week panels, CV clinics and collaborations with other Warwick societies.
Members can apply their knowledge through competitions such as Reasoned Trading, EuroPitch, uMushroom and HackEurope. We are also introducing the WTS Fund, where selected students will research investment ideas, present trade theses and gain experience in portfolio construction and risk management.
For 2026/27, the society is supported by sponsors and partners including Jane Street, Quantbot Technologies, GAIN and Reasoned Trading. Alongside our academic and careers programme, we run a range of socials, including poker nights, circles and bar crawls, giving members the chance to build relationships across the society.
WTS Fund
Launching in 2026/27, the WTS Fund will give students the opportunity to gain practical experience of investment research, portfolio management and risk.
The fund will initially focus on Equity and Rates, with a team made up of Portfolio Managers, Analysts and Risk members. Participants will work together to develop investment ideas, assess market opportunities and contribute to portfolio decisions within a structured investment process.
Applications for WTS Fund positions will open during Term 1, with further details on the structure, strategy and recruitment process to be announced.
