Proprietary trading firm. Hosts an invite-only social for our analysts and division heads, and takes our analyst CV book — members have gone on to spring-week rounds off the back of it.
The firms we work with
We partner with trading firms, banks and platforms who want direct access to students who are already doing the work. Below is who we work with, and what a partnership with the Bristol Trading Society actually provides.
Our reach
We send more members into industry than any other finance society at Bristol.
800 members, an analyst cohort selected by competitive application each year, and four divisions running their own research agendas — more about the society and how it is structured.
What a partnership provides
Access to the analyst programme
Over 400 students apply each year for roughly ten places per division. Analysts spend the year producing research inside that division. Partners can receive the analyst CV book directly.
Speaking slots and events
Host an evening with our members, run a workshop, or co-host a competition. Past partners have run simulations, championships and career sessions with us.
Division-level collaboration
Work directly with the division closest to your desk — providing resources, data or problem sets to the FICC, Equities, Macro or Quant teams.
Brand presence
Logo placement across our site and event materials, and visibility at the Freshers' Fair and our annual welcome event.
Recruitment pipeline
Advertise internships, spring weeks and graduate roles to a membership that is already actively applying into markets roles.
A long-term relationship
Several of our partnerships have run for multiple years, carrying over as each committee hands to the next.
