Investia Leuven
Investia is a student investment fund built for ambitious people. We actively manage a real equity portfolio, deepen our knowledge through hands-on events with partners like BCG, Waterland, and BrightWolves, and grow as a tight-knit group of friends who share a genuine passion for finance. A community where ambition and passion can truly flourish.
Execute Theory
At Investia, we don’t just talk theory: we execute it. We dive deep into industries, analyze companies from every angle, and make data-driven decisions that impact our portfolio in real time. Our stock screener helps us identify opportunities, and our team’s in-depth analysis brings those opportunities to life. From discounted cash flow models to advanced multiple analysis, we look at every detail before making a move. And we don’t stop there. Once we invest, we continuously review our assets to ensure they’re performing at their best.
Pitch & Invest
Every week, the Investia team comes together to share insights, debate strategies, and make decisions. Our meetings start with key updates on the global economy, financial markets, and our portfolio’s performance. Then, it’s on to the heart of the session: industry deep-dives, company pitches, and vibrant discussions that challenge each member to think critically. These sessions are about more than just numbers. They’re about learning, growing, and ultimately deciding, as a team, which investments will drive our fund forward.

Testimonials by our alumni
Joren Boons
"Founding Investia with close friends was a defining experience. I learned a great deal about investing and what it means to lead an organisation, and I met lifelong friends who share the same passion for finance.
Investia also opened important professional doors and shaped who I am today. I would encourage anyone, regardless of background or experience, to apply and become part of this community."
Annelien Crijns
"Joining Investia was one of the best choices I made as a student. I met inspiring, ambitious people who supported me and helped me grow. Weekly meetings strengthened my skills in financial analysis, critical thinking and presenting, and the career guidance helped me secure the job I wanted. Most importantly, I gained lifelong friendships, and the society continues to build lasting connections through events for members and alumni."
Simon Zenner
"Joining Investia as a founding member remains one of my most rewarding experiences. It gave me hands-on knowledge of corporate finance, valuation methods, investment strategy, presenting and pitching stocks, all of which proved essential as it kickstarted my career in the financial sector. I also built lifelong friendships and, as an alumnus, I still feel closely connected to the organisation. It makes me proud to see Investia continue as one of the most successful student-led funds, driven by talented and motivated members."
Ellen De Schrijver
"Joining Investia gave me far more than I expected. I came to learn finance and meet new people, but ended up gaining both hard skills like valuations and market analysis and soft skills such as critical thinking and speaking with confidence.
Investia opened the world of corporate finance through engaging discussions and, more importantly, its members continually pushed me to grow and achieve my goals."
Thomas Vanderhaeghe
"Joining Investia was a turning point in my university years. Coming from engineering, it gave me the perfect way to learn about business and finance in a friendly, energizing environment, and many members became close friends. It also opened career opportunities I wouldn’t have accessed otherwise. In short, Investia has been an enriching academic, professional and personal experience whose impact I still feel every day."
Charlotte Garcia-Moreno
"As a Law student, being part of Investia has been a genuinely value-adding experience. I learned a great deal through fundamental analysis and valuation work, and the society’s professional approach to portfolio management offered the perfect environment to grow. My experience at Investia will undoubtedly support my future career in corporate and financial law. I strongly encourage fellow Law students with an interest in finance to apply and join. I look forward to meeting you."
