Application to the finance and investment committees

Teekkari Union of Tampere is seeking members for its committees. Applications for both are open until 1.11. The term begins at the start of 2027 and lasts for 1–3 years, depending on the applicant's preference.

The finance committee operates in Finnish, as Finnish is the Union’s working language. In the investment committee, you can also participate in English.

If you have any questions about the Committees, feel free to contact the association's Minister of Finances on Telegram (@Talousneuvos) or via email at talousmestari@tampereenteekkarit.fi. 

Finance Committee

 The finance committee acts as an advisory and preparatory expert body under the Teekkari Council. A suitable candidate for the finance committee is someone interested in the finances of the Union. More info about the application can be found from the Finnish post from here.

Investment Committee

In accordance with the Union’s investment policy, the committee consists of the association's Minister of Finances, Chairperson, and at least three (3) community members interested in investing.

In previous years, the Committee has operated in Finnish, as all the financial documents are in Finnish. When a competent person is found, these documents can be translated into English and the operations can be changed to English. 

The investment principles of Tampereen Teekkarit are defined in the association's investment policy as follows: 

•               The association is a long-term investor. 

•               Investments are diversified to reduce risk across countries, asset classes, industries, and time. 

•               Investments can be made not only in deposits but also in funds, all publicly traded securities (excluding derivatives), and securities issued by banks. 

•               The investment activities are managed internally by the association (i.e., not outsourced). 

•               No debt is taken for investment purposes, meaning no leverage is used. 

•               The association is a sustainable investor, aiming to invest only in responsible assets in accordance with ESG principles. 

•               The association does not invest directly in economically or socially harmful industries, such as the arms industry or industries producing fossil fuels. 

Anyone interested in investing is eligible to join the Investment Committee. Experience in the association's activities or investing in line with its principles is considered an advantage.
