About
Bruins in Finance and Banking (BFB) is a UCLA finance club that trains students for investment banking, private equity and related careers. New members go through a 10-week accelerator on finance basics and live Excel modeling that ends with a capstone pitch of a company they choose, then join client projects or real-money pitch competitions. The club also runs Bruin Algorithmic Insights, a quant team that builds an ML valuation tool and holds an annual algorithmic trading competition, plus a yearly Berkshire Hathaway trip.
