ABOUT US
Founded in 2002, EYE Investment Club is SMU’s largest official finance club committed to connecting you to the world of finance.
Comprising over 1600 members and an alumni network spanning across 22 years, our club is established on a robust foothold with a richly diverse community made up of individuals from varying academic backgrounds and levels of experience.
We hold weekly general meetings and other networking and industry events throughout the year. Here at EYE, we take pride in fostering a ‘family’ culture, one where members support, challenge and grow alongside each other. This culture is why many of our alumni remain actively involved, returning regularly to mentor current members and share insights from their academic and professional journeys.
Beyond our lineup of investment and networking events that offer real-world exposure, our flagship initiatives include the Investment Symposium and Asian Investment Immersion Programme (AIIP).
We offer two programmes - the General Member Programme and the Analyst Programme. To find out more, please check out our website, our social media links, and the FAQs.

OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB?
For the General Member Programme, students are only required to register once to enjoy the full benefits of being a lifelong member of EYE Investment Club.
For the Analyst Programme, interested candidates are required to submit a deliverable and attend an evaluation session with the EXCO, during which they will have to present their work and undergo a short interview.
"EYE has given my first year a mind and heart– what seemed like the worst year to enter university was turned into a memorable experience of learning and friendship. This is where my expectations for financial knowledge were far exceeded, where the friendships I gained leave nothing to be desired."
- Foo Yong Li, School of Accountancy & School of Business, Year 2
"My past year in EYE has been fruitful and enriching, as I not only gained insights into the Forex market and various financial sectors, but also met many like-minded individuals. The pitches over the semester also allowed me to learn beyond pure content, and the feedback really helped me improve!"
- Liu Hongying, School of Business & School of Computing and Information Systems, Year 2
FAQ
As a General Member, you'll attend weekly meetings and access curated materials to build a strong foundation across asset classes. You'll also join events like our #EYEHangout Series, which are interactive seminars held with industry professionals.
Those looking for more can join the Analyst Programme, which includes all general benefits plus exclusive research decks, deeper learning, and close mentorship. Analysts also gain access to alumni networking sessions and stock pitch competitions for a more hands-on experience.
To become a General Member, you can simply pay a one-time fee of $15 that lasts you a lifetime.
For the Analyst Programme, candidates will be given a case study to complete as a deliverable. You'll then attend a session with the EXCO, where you'll present your analysis and go through a short interview to assess your understanding, commitment, and fit with the team.
Not at all! Our programmes are designed to be beginner-friendly while offering advanced content for those looking to deepen their expertise.
Historically, a large number of our members had no prior finance background before joining and still managed to learn and develop strong finance and investing skills.
Applications for General Memberships will be available all year round.
Meanwhile, recruitment for Analysts typically open in a 2-week window at the start of Semester 1, in late August. We will be posting more details nearer to the date.
