Two tracks, one membership
Choose in person or online
One membership covers both tracks. When you enter the portal you pick once: the physical Amsterdam desk, with on-site sessions and sector teams, or the fully remote online track. Same portal, same portfolio, same proposals. The team can move you later if you need to switch.
The one-time track chooser you see when you enter the portal.
What's inside
✓Calendar — meetings, workshops and deadlines with file submissions, in one place.
✓Research — submit an investment thesis; a Portfolio Manager reviews and signs it off, with every report the desk ships filed under its proposal.
✓Portfolio — a live paper book; approved equity ideas auto-execute at your target price.
✓Team & announcements — the desk roster by sector and everything from the AIC team.
What's in it for you
→Do real equity research — pick a name, build a DCF/comps valuation, write the report.
→Defend your idea in front of a committee and get a PM sign-off — the real reps.
→Manage a position over its lifecycle, not just pitch and forget.
→Build a track record — your reports and decisions live on the desk for everyone to see.
→Learn the craft of research, valuation and committee defence alongside the cohort.

Risk & model
The desk's quantitative allocation model — a monthly, long-only momentum & volatility framework. Switch strategies to compare. Educational; not investment advice.
Model as of —
Backtest
Growth of 1 on the current basket, month-end rebalanced. History is in-sample — read it as risk behaviour, not proven alpha.
Current optimal allocation
Model target weights for Inverse vol, decided on close of —. Live proposals cap any single position at 10%.
Per-position risk
Each holding's standalone track record and risk, plus its share of total portfolio risk for the selected strategy. Risk % above weight % (red) = the name carries more risk than its size.
