Glasgow University Trading and Investment Club (GUTIC)
The Glasgow University Trading and Investment Club is a rapidly growing finance society with a strong emphasis on employability and career training. With a continuously increasing membership base of more than 500 students the club aims to act as a bridge between students at the University of Glasgow and City’s top institutions. GUTIC was founded in 2009, and since its foundation it has evolved from a simple trading club into a more expansive society by broadening our remit to incorporate the financial services industry as a whole. We aim to educate our members on a vast array of topics about global financial markets and the world economy, to encourage and motivate our members about a career in the financial services industry and to enhance the opportunities and chances for our members to pursue such a career. While our society has a clear emphasis on the financial services industry we would like to highlight that we’re open to all members of Glasgow University - regardless of what degree course you are studying.
