The Industry Coverage Society is a student-led organization dedicated to providing industry-specific resources, networking opportunities, and industry insights for students interested in pursuing care
The student group aims to offer both undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to learn more about the different industry coverage groups found in most investment banks and private equity firms, an opportunity not currently present on campus. By delving deeper into a specific industry, students would get greater exposure to a specific sector, which in turn would allow them to make a more conscious decision regarding their career path. Having attended already multiple networking events and investment banking panels, we noticed time and time again that a reoccurring concern among students was deciding and understanding what industry coverage group they might like to pursue, before joining a financial institution. By browsing through the various societies present at LSE, we noticed the absence of a comprehensive, investment-banking-focused solution that could tackle this pressing, unaddressed problem.
Within our society, students will find different groups, each specializing in one particular industry. In detail, our groups will cover the following industries: • Healthcare • Real Estate • Telecommunication, Media and Technology (TMT) • Financial Institutions Group (FIG) • Consumer & Retail • Industrials • Oil & Gas • Energy & Infrastructure Clearly, our society would act as a one-stop-shop for students who are both interested in pursuing a career in high finance and are seeking to obtain a better understanding of their preferences regarding the industry they might like to specialize in. Additionally, our members will have the opportunity to deepen their expertise in their chosen industry by attending our events. We believe that this specialized, industry-specific knowledge will provide them with a distinct advantage during the interview process, enabling them to showcase their passion for finance more effectively and demonstrate a nuanced understanding that sets them apart from other candidates. The ultimate goal of our society is to ensure that students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently pursue their chosen career paths while also boosting their chances of landing their dream job. With our society, we can better prepare students for the workforce and create a more informed, capable generation of professionals.
