Finance will open any door
Founded in 2013, the Esade Student Finance Society (ESFS) is the only finance society at Esade Business & Law School and the largest student-led finance society in Spain. With 110 active members across 10 departments, ESFS brings together students who want to seriously engage with the world of finance.
What we do
Events
Events are at the core of ESFS. We organize around 16 events every year, reaching more than 2,400 students and professionals. These range from technical workshops, competitions and recruitment events to large flagship conferences that bring together students, alumni, and industry professionals.
Our main events include the Esade Finance Summit, a full-day conference with leading finance speakers, the Finance Evening in Madrid, focused on alumni and industry networking, and Shark Tank Esade, where student-led startups from the best universities in the world pitch to Spanish investors. We also run investment and M&A competitions that allow members to apply finance in realistic settings.
Investments
In Q1 2026, ESFS will launch Esade’s first student-led investment fund, investing real money and managed entirely by students. The fund will focus on publicly listed US equities and is expected to reach €100,000 in assets under management by summer 2026.
Members involved in the fund gain hands-on experience in financial analysis, portfolio management, investment decision-making, and investor communication, closely mirroring how professional investment teams operate.
Research
Our Research teams cover different sectors, we also have a quant team and a weekly podcast. We publish 24 reports per year in collaboration with Wall Street Oasis, giving our members exposure to an audience of over 3 million readers worldwide. Through research, members build strong analytical thinking, technical finance knowledge, and structured writing skills.
Talent Hub
Our Talent Hub connects ESFS members directly with the job market. We currently work with more than 20 partner companies, including finance firms and startups, that offer exclusive internship and job opportunities reserved for ESFS members. This includes off-cycle roles, fast-track processes, and tailored opportunities that are not publicly available.
