The Investment and Trading Club (Investra)
The Investment and Trading Club (Investra) is a recent addition to the UNCP student organization family. Our mission is to use practical experience to promote education, knowledge, and awareness of investing and trading concepts while using simulations, competitions, and industry standard software platforms to gain real world experience in selecting and analyzing investment opportunities.
Investra seeks to accomplish this mission by conducting research using platforms such as S&P Capital IQ, Morningstar, and Stock Trak, then using this research to analyze the investment opportunity, and to determine the best time to invest on the exchange. We offer training to our members on the importance of investing, how to analyze investments, and how to invest. Investra also strives to promote financial literacy among our membership and within the community.
The Investment and Trading Club is open to both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at UNCP, and to students outside of the Thomas School of Business. We meet in person monthly in the trading room at the Thomas School of Business and offer remote participation through WebEx if a member is not able to attend in person.
