Ad Astra Capital

We are Ad Astra Capital, an international student-investment group. Founded in 2025, we combine professional fundmanagement with an educational, competitive spirit. Our mission is to give members hands-on investing experience closely simulating operations of multi-strategy (hedge)fund. We aim to prepare our ambitious members for future careers in finance.

How We Invest
At the core of our operations lies the B&R Beurs Investment Competition. Our disciplined, data-driven approach blends quantitative modelling, equity research, and strategic portfolio management. Analysts track sectors and assets in depth; quants build and refine proprietary models for asset allocation and trading models. The portfolio manager synthesizes these insights into cohesive investment strategies. This structure allows us to perform at the highest level while giving every member direct exposure to real-world investing challenges. 

What You Will Learn
Ad Astra Capital provides an authentic simulation of professional fund management. Members research, model, and trade as if they were asset managers, developing technical and analytical skills through collaborative projects. Along the way, they benefit from engagement with industry professionals and alumni through events, workshops, and networking opportunities. Our goal is to sharpen knowledge, foster growth, and create a platform where future leaders in finance take their first steps. 

Our Culture
We believe that excellence comes from diversity of thought, open debate, and collaboration. We are an inclusive and international team that values ambition, discipline, and innovation. Ad Astra Capital is open to both male and female students from all backgrounds. The association maintains a serious and professional focus on investing. Although our emphasis is always on investing, we also offer occasional social gatherings to build community. 

Our Vision
Our vision is to redefine what a student investment club can be: a professional platform for aspiring fund managers or future finance professionals, a place where discipline meets creativity, and a team that competes to win while learning by doing. We strive to inspire beyond the university walls and to establish a long-term track record. Above all, we aim higher, reach further, and invest smarter guided by the standards of the industry we aspire to enter.
