ESCP Finance Society The ESCP Finance Society is an association composed by students interested in the Finance Industry

In our division, we turn macroeconomic analysis into real market action. We study interest rates, supply‑and‑demand dynamics, sector trends, and global developments to generate long and short trade ideas with real‑world relevance.
As an analyst, you’ll own the full process, from research and idea generation to trade ex*****on and portfolio management. Throughout the journey, you’ll be challenged and supported by experienced M2 students who help you learn by doing. The focus is entirely hands‑on.
We’re looking for students who want to bridge the gap between classroom theory and market exposure. No prior trading experience is required, but a strong curiosity for markets is essential.
