The Vertige Investment Group (VIG) is focused on providing passionate and committed undergraduate students at the University of Toronto with the opportunity to learn about financial analysis, and apply their knowledge in producing industry-grade equity research and strategy reports to be published through VIG platforms.

Prospective analysts are trained through the Vertige Analyst Program, a highly intensive annual initiative aimed at equipping dedicated students with fundamental knowledge in financial analysis and valuation. The Vertige Analyst Program includes segments in comprehensive financial statement analysis, financial modelling & valuation methods, company risk evaluation methods, and macroeconomic sensitivity analysis. Ultimately, candidates who successfully graduate the Vertige Analyst Program will be well equipped to conduct industry-grade research, and will be given the opportunity to have their work published through the Vertige Equity Research department.

The Vertige Equity Research department has several obtainable ranks, with the most experienced members of the group being designated the title of Managing Director. Managing Directors are tasked with leading teams of Analysts, Associates, and Vice Presidents in producing investment strategy and equity research reports for publication.

Members of the Vertige Investment Group will also have access to a wide range of resources, and will be invited to participate in club-exclusive events including industry networking opportunities and speaker panels.

Students who are interested in gaining exposure in the financial services industry are welcome at the Vertige Investment Group, regardless of their field of study or current financial knowledge. The only criteria upon which candidates are chosen is their demonstrated passion, hunger for knowledge, and dedication.
