About Us
WHU Finance Society is the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management's finance club. As the business school's oldest initiative (founded in 1996), we aim to create value for our members by providing additional academic sessions with proven experts, networking opportunities with first-class employers and society internal offerings. Our thematic priorities include investment banking, private equity, investment management, sales & trading, as well as management consulting in the financial sector.
The WHU Finance Society counts a large number of students currently enrolled at the Vallendar campus among its members, including both Bachelor's students of all years and Master's students. Members can either participate regularly by contributing their technical know-how and time or by attending events on a non-compulsory basis.
The WHU Finance Society is a proud member of the IFSA - International Finance Student Association Network and the BVH - Bundesverband der Börsenvereine an Deutschen Hochschulen (Federal Association of German Academic Investment Clubs). The club is open to all members of the WHU community.

Our Services
Having started with casual meetings to discuss capital markets, we offer our members a diverse portfolio of events today. Clustered into the categories Academic, Corporate, Experienced and Socials, we provide technical lectures and deep-dives by renowned professors, insights into their business and opportunities to get to know the employees of our partners and other well-known financial institutions, as well as accounts, tips and tricks by our long-standing members, and casual events to relax with friends and fellow students.
After the revival of the WHU Financial, a monthly publication of varied deep-dives and focused articles created by experienced students, we aim to supply our members with a weekly update on global financial markets and critical macroeconomic events in the form of a free subscription. Moreover, the publishing division redacts a quarterly informational briefing on the development of WHU Finance Society and a wide variety of articles for our Alumni.
The Deal Logic department analyses and publishes monthly reports on the latest and most interesting mergers and acquisitions. In doing so, they offer in-depth analytical research that not only informs the WHU Finance Society community about the latest events but also educates them about M&A processes.
To build on its members' affiliation with the society and continue to serve its members even after they have left university, WHU Finance Society has a small team responsible for the administration of its Alumni Club. It unites the previously active members with those who are deeply engaged and interested in the world of finance. Within the Club, casual social events are organised in Europe's financial centres and selected metropoles.
Besides services from distinguished divisions, members enjoy further benefits like free newspaper or journal subscriptions, offers from affiliated partners like BVH or IFSA, and on-campus amenities concerning finance-related education.
