Private Equity Conference
September
Dry Powder
On the 11 th of September, the Financial Study association Rotterdam organises the
inaugural Private Equity Conference. The goal of this event is to give students an
insight in the diverse world of Private Equity. The main focus lies on the upcoming
challenges associated with ‘Dry Powder’.
In the last couple of years, financial companies have increasingly made use of Dry
Powder, a term that refers to cash reserves kept on hand. As for the Private Equity
sector, it has become very challenging to find appropriate investment opportunities
for this capital. We have invited three renowned speakers to share their views on
investment opportunities and the dilemma of this large pile of money. If you want
to know more about Private Equity and innovative investment strategies the Private
Equity Conference is the perfect fit.

Asset Management Tour
October - November
An event especially for those interested in
the world of Asset Management
The Asset Management Tour is a collaboration between the Financial Study
associations of Amsterdam (FSA) and Rotterdam (FSR). The Asset Management Tour
is a perfect event for third-year Bachelor and Master students to get an in-depth
view in the world of Asset Management.
One of the most important parts of the financial sector, and probably the least
known, is the Asset Management industry. Asset managers worldwide manage
over $100 trillion, which makes them a vital part of the global financial sector.
Although we might not realize it, the decisions of these financial institutions
influence everybody.
In this three-day tour you will visit various asset managers in and around
Amsterdam. Moreover, you will spend nights in a hotel in Amsterdam. During the
program you will work on strategic and interactive investment cases. Furthermore,
you will lunch and dine with employees of all firms to figure out what working as an
asset manager really looks like.
Do you enjoy following financial markets, reading the Financial Times, wat-
ching your own portfolio or checking stock prices on the internet? Do you want
to know who is behind “the market”? Do you want to invest billions with your
team? Do you want to invest in companies that make the everyday headlines?
If so, you may find a career in Asset Management appealing and join the Asset
Management Tour!

Financial Business Cycle
November
Get to know everything about the diverse career
possibilities as a young professional with a
financial background
The Financial Business Cycle consists of several workshops, inhouse days and dinners
with multiple different companies. The Financial Business Cycle is the perfect op-
portunity for upcoming financial professionals to explore their career possibilities.
At an inhouse day, each company will introduce themselves in their own way. In
addition to presentations and company tours, a significant part of the day will be
reserved for business cases, allowing you to show your financial talent. During
an inhouse day you will have the opportunity to get to know the participating
companies and experience the differences in activities and corporate culture.
During the Financial Business Cycle multiple dinners are hosted in collaboration
with prestigious partners. At every dinner, different partners will be present which
offers you the possibility to view multiple companies in an informal setting at the same
time. Furthermore, we organize informal activities such as a high tea and sports clinic.
Additionally, companies from multiple financial sectors will offer on-campus
workshops. They will provide information about the company and offer a chal-
lenging case which gives you the opportunity to excel and impress them with
your knowledge, at the same time you will get familiar with the company.
The application for the Financial Business Cycle consists of individual subscriptions
per company.
10 www.FSR.nlMaster Class
November - January - March
Let us help you with your thesis with, amongst others,
the Bloomberg Master Class
Throughout the year we organize a range of Master Classes. One of them is
the Bloomberg Master Class and is organized for students that want to become
familiar with the use of Bloomberg, which can be useful in writing a thesis.
This master class is organized by the FSR in cooperation with Bloomberg and
Erasmus Data Service Centre (EDSC).
The Bloomberg Master Class focuses on students that have limited experience with
the use of Bloomberg and are interested in the analysis of market data. During
a one hour class the students will participate in a “Master the Terminal” session
given by a Bloomberg professional. This class teaches students how to navigate the
Bloomberg terminal and explore a tour of its services. The participants will work
with Bloomberg on a computer while they will follow the instructions on the big
screen. The skills taught in this class are very valuable for data analysis in order to
conduct a research.
Are you excited to improve your skills and learn more about the Bloomberg
Terminal? Or do you want to become more familiar with the use of Bloomberg
to perform research or write your thesis? Then we would like to see you at the
Bloomberg Master Class.

December-July
Curious about the corporate world of another continent?
This is your chance! Apply for the International
Research Project 2020
The International Research Project is FSR’s biggest project. The aim of
the project is to give students the opportunity to investigate a financi-
al topic in a consultancy assignment at an international company. On this
international location the participants will get in contact with different stakehol-
ders by means of company visits and meetings with locals. The students will get a
good insight into the differences between the business environment of the
international location and the Netherlands.
The IRP will start in December 2019 with inhouse days and guest lectures
at Dutch companies. These companies will share their international experiences and
will assist the students with their consultancy assignment.
In July 2020 the participants will travel to the foreign destination to continue their
investigation on location. The participants will be divided in teams and each team
will investigate a different company. The IRP will be concluded with a presentation
of the results which will give a clear perspective of the outcomes and lessons
learned.

female students acquainted with the world of strategy consulting.
The event will take place at a high end location in Amsterdam where students will

followed by a lunch or a drink in order to get to know the participating companies
better. This event is suited for a broad range of students, thanks to the contribution
of the different associations. Students in the fields of business administration, eco-
nomics, econometrics and finance are all encouraged to apply!
14 www.FSR.nlCorporate Finance Competition
February
Join this five star event on a five star location
The Corporate Finance Competition is known as one of the most prestigious
Corporate Finance events in the Netherlands. Each year the Corporate Finance
Competition is organized in cooperation with leading companies.
During two days of business courses, students will meet several companies.
Guided by the professionals of these entities, students will work on interactive and
challenging cases in a team setting. After each case the respective company will
choose a winning team. At the end of the competition one team will be the overall
victor of the Corporate Finance Competition!
Besides the formal interaction with the participating companies during the cases,
sufficient leisure time and informal contact is offered during the lunches, dinners
and social drinks.
Each year this event takes place at an exclusive and luxurious venue.
Previous years the hosting venues for this challenging business courses have been,
amongst others, Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg and Grand Hotel Karel V. The fact
that the Financial Study association Rotterdam organises the Corporate Finance
Competition does not imply that it is only allowed for students from the
Erasmus University Rotterdam to apply. On the contrary, a nationwide promotion
campaign guarantees an annually increasing amount of participants from different
universities throughout the country.
www.FSR.nl 15Finance Days
March
A perfect day to see the career possibilities in the
field of finance
FSR organises together with EFR and STAR two separate days especially for second

sibilities in the field of Finance.

king in the world of Finance. Professors of the Finance departments of both the
Erasmus School of Economics and the Rotterdam School of Management will kick
off these days with a short introduction about the master programs. Next, se-
veral companies will tell you more about different tracks of Finance. Specialists in
the field will give presentations that are open to all interested students, allowing
them to see finance from a practical perspective. The only thing you have to do, is
subscribe for this event.
We will also invite companies that operate in the field of Finance to present their
workshops to a selected group of students. This will provide students with a more
in-depth view of what it is like to work at one of these companies.

www.FSR.nl 19Open Banking Day
May
Are you interested in fintech? Come to the
Open Banking Day
The Open Banking Day is a collaboration between the Financial Study association
Rotterdam and Turing Students Rotterdam. Last year, the first edition of this event
was organised. During this day, experts and representatives from banks, technology
companies and management consultancy institutions tell their stories, debate, and
tackle questions about a topic that changes every year.
Last year’s topic was Open Banking, which is an increasingly used term. In 2015,
the EU administered the Payment Services Directive II, requiring banks to share the
data they have collected about consumers - your data - to third-party developers.
The idea is to open up the elusive banking world to fairer competition, consolidate
a more integrated European electronic market, give consumers more freedom to
decide what to do with their money, and incentivise innovations.
Do you want to learn more about the connection between fintech en the financial
world? Join us at the Open Banking Day!
