Our Community
Joining Global Equity Management signifies connecting with a community that fosters and excels in curiosity, leaders, and a passion for finance.
At the beginning of each semester, GEM runs a recruiting process to identify future leaders of the organization. We will always emphasize that no prior investing experience is required, only an interest in the financial field. We hope to receive your applications soon!
Founders Initiative
If there is no existing GEM Chapter at your university and you are interested in being the chapter founder, the Founders' Initiative is the way for you.
The Founders Initiative is GEM’s way of expanding financial education across universities. This 10-week program teaches future GEM chapter founders the basics of valuing a business. Through readings and mentorship, participants learn how to analyze companies using industry reports, SEC filings, and company guidance.
