Bourse Clubs (Pörssikerho) are targeting college and university level students, who have no previous knowledge of investing. Many of our first Bourse Ambassadors have proceeded with their studies to college / university level and continued their work as ambassadors there. These clubs offer a starter’s package once or twice a year. After that the members can participate monthly meetings or take part in Investors’ Evenings. Find the dates here.

Investors’ day for students  (Opiskelijoiden pörssipäivä) is organised twice a year.

Investors’ Evenings (Pörssi-ilta) are organised every spring and autumn. Anyone who is interested in investment is welcome to join us. Investors’ Evenings are organised for private persons so that they can learn about Finnish economy and listed companies. During each event, three or four listed companies present their operations and other areas of interest to prospective investors. Each speaker is either the CEO or a senior manager of the company. In addition, an economist or other expert usually speaks about current economic situation and market prospects.
