BRIKS is a Belgian investment club for students engaged in value investing. BRIKS was founded in 2011 by four entrepreneurial engineering students and has as mission to bring ambitious students and investors together in order to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and contacts. BRIKS consists of two branches: 1) BRIKS Leuven: a local branch based in Leuven run by students and 2) BRIKS Alumni a more international branch run by professionals. BRIKS Leuven offers opportunities to students who are relatively new to the financial markets as well as to students who are well experienced. BRIKS Leuven assembles every week in the center of Leuven to discuss the current portfolio, investment opportunities and asset allocation strategies. The main focus lies on equities, but investments in bonds and derivatives are not excluded. BRIKS Alumni consists of a diverse and international network of professionals active in inter alia consulting, investment banking and law. Members of BRIKS Alumni support BRIKS Leuven with career support and relevant industry knowledge. More information on www.briks.be!
