​Canada's Leading Undergraduate Financial Services Conference

What is hEDGE?

​Founded in 2011 at the University of Waterloo, hEDGE is one of Canada’s leading student-organized undergraduate finance conferences.

Our annual hEDGE Financial Services Conference offers delegates a comprehensive outlook into both sell-side and buy-side finance through the six pillars of capital markets: Asset Management, Equity & Debt Research, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Sales & Trading, and Venture Capital. We partner with top financial institutions to provide delegates with the opportunity to learn from and connect with professionals in financial services.

​Our team's vision will always be to inspire and educate the next generation of leaders in global capital markets.

Our Mission

​"hEDGE is a not-for-profit, student-run organization committed to two complementary missions:
​ ​
1. To help our sponsors engage, connect, and hire top students pursuing a career in financial services;

2. To equip our delegates with the essential industry exposure to break into investment banking, financial services consulting, and sales & trading, or establish an informed path to a future career in asset management, equity and debt research, private equity, venture capital, fintech and risk management."
