Student investment research
TIC Market+ and Macro Research
Work in Técnico Investment Club across weekly USA market monitoring, TIC Journal contributions and Market+, a simulated fund where students research companies and discuss investment ideas.
Student investment research for educational purposes. Nothing on this page should be considered investment advice.
My role
I contribute to two TIC areas. In Market+, I work on a simulated student fund where members analyse listed companies, discuss investment theses and review price targets. In Macro, I monitor USA markets and companies each week and contribute to article/report work that can become part of the TIC Journal, alongside contributions from other TIC departments. The cadence is generally one Macro meeting and one Market+/fund meeting per week.
What I do
Market+
- Analyse companies, business models and key metrics.
- Compare peers and market context.
- Prepare stock pitches, target discussions and fund recommendations.
- Review earnings reports and material company updates.
- Contribute to thesis re-evaluations after new information.
Macro
- Monitor USA markets and selected American companies each week.
- Track relevant moves and drivers in a private Google Sheets workflow.
- Present the most important developments in recurring macro meetings.
- Write article/report contributions for TIC Journal when assigned by Macro.
- Coordinate with a broader team where other members cover different market areas.
Market+ work
In Market+, I help turn company research into structured discussion material for the simulated fund. That includes understanding the business model, choosing relevant metrics, comparing peers, discussing valuation targets and revisiting the thesis after material updates such as earnings reports. The workflow is broader than a single pitch: it supports both initial fund formation and recurring review of existing ideas.
Macro work
On the macro side, my recurring focus is USA Markets: following American companies and market developments, recording relevant updates in a private Google Sheets workflow and presenting the key points in the macro meeting. Macro also assigns article/report work, sometimes individually and sometimes in teams; those contributions can be combined with work from other TIC departments into the TIC Journal.
