ABOUT US
Founded in 2016, the Lisbon Investment Society’s main goals have been to encourage students to develop an interest in finance and activities that enhance their overall skills, building stronger and closer relations between themselves and important financial institutions.
​
The Society strives to create the highest quality of financial content through its wide multicultural base of members. Across five departments, LIS enables members to explore various areas under the wide scope of investment and finance, as we aim to assist in the development of valuable and practical skills for their future professional careers.
Additionally, the Society produces equity research reports on companies across various sectors and industries, and provides financial advisory for small and medium size companies. Finally, LIS’ portfolio is complemented by industry overviews, newsletters, yearly outlooks and interviews with experts from the industry and authentic market makers, which can be found in our podcast "Crunch the Numbers".
Our president
" You will often hear me say that you get out of LIS what you put into LIS. This is as true as it can be. With LIS, you can see yourself become (as I have) something you could never have imagined. In all aspects, personal and professional, LIS acts as a stepping stone. From the first welcome week to the days spent researching and analyzing or from planning and structuring to the countless teambuildings and association-wide activities, you gain an incredible skillset (of soft and hard skills) that will allow you to stand out. But most importantly, you will learn more than you could’ve ever imagined by doing practical, hands-on work while also building friendships that will last you a lifetime.
Each milestone that is achieved, is celebrated throughout the whole association by each and every member because, at LIS, we’re a family. And true to that statement, we support each other throughout any and all challenge. We foster innovation and embrace commitment and dedication, valuing it above all else so that everyone can thrive if they want to.
The continuous growth of the culture of this incredible association allows every member to find true passion and purpose.
That has been my experience, and my goal is to make everyone’s experience at LIS at least as fulfilling as mine.
You get out of LIS what you put into LIS. So I hope you’ll put in it your all."

President of LIS
