“Then the god [Bacchus], happy at his foster-fathers return, gave Midas control over the choice of a gift, which was pleasing, but futile, since he was doomed to make poor use of his reward.

Be it the investments we make, the lessons we learn or the friendships we create. Last year’s third place in the investment competition was a great achievement, but we always want to continue improving. Our main objective is therefore threefold: we strive to win the investment competition while having fun and learning as much as possible along the way. Our history is encapsulated in our motto: Passion Yields Results. We are indeed convinced that passion and motivation are the fundamental ingredients needed for success; and we have already demonstrated this belief in the past. While our history is still in its infancy, being founded in 2013, we are proud of our achievements. For example, we managed to attain third place in both the Optiver (2013), and the Flow Traders (2016) investing competitions. While third is good, it is not great, so we will strive for even greater achievements in the future. At Midas Investments we share a passion for investing, but are very diverse otherwise. We embrace this diversity and therefore welcome any type of student to join our ranks. However, we do expect our members to be committed in order to move our group forward. Are you this passionate, eager to learn, and social guy or girl? Then we encourage you to apply and join us for another wonderful year!
