LSE GPS Analyst 2027

Global Platinum Securities™ (GPS) is a unique intercollegiate student-run investment company that seeks to educate the next generation of investors by immersing them in the field of active investment management.

• Its ~65 student members and ~400 alumni hail from eight renowned universities across North America and London. These include LSE, Harvard, MIT, Wharton, Georgetown, NYU, Colorado and Dayton.
• We require no background experience whatsoever. We welcome applications from first year undergraduates of all degrees, as well as first and second year students on four-year programmes.
• As a prerequisite for selection, each member displays a passion for knowledge, a high level of intellectual curiosity, extraordinary leadership capabilities, a willingness to commit time to weekly research and conference calls, and a strong regard for their surrounding community.
• Upon induction to the group, students participate in a structured Education Program. This unique Program is designed to introduce analysts to basic business and financial concepts through a variety of avenues including reading materials, books, hands-on experience and interaction with fellow analysts and GPS members.
• We organise three conferences each year in the US. The final step in an analyst's training programme is to deliver a pitch in front of the entire organisation at the annual GPS Fall Conference, which occurs every September in New York City. Past conferences have included Q&A with Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Howard Marks, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barry Rosenstein.
• Owing to a strong regard for corporate citizenship, student members, through the GPS Giving Back Program, donate their time and knowledge each year to enrich the underprivileged in our surrounding communities.
• We wish to profit by upholding an ethical code of conduct by educating, by mentoring and by fostering life-long friendships. The involvement of members and alumni in mentoring the new analysts in GPS is an investment in the future.
• Application deadline: 25th October 2026, 23:59 BST
• Do note applications are NOT on a rolling basis. We will only review all applications after the deadline and we advise attending one of our information sessions before applying.
• Questions or concerns? Get in touch with any of the GPS members.
