About KCL AISOC
King's College London's first and only society dedicated exclusively to the alternative investment industry.
What We Do
KCL AISOC is King's College London's first and only society dedicated exclusively to the alternative investment industry. While most finance societies focus on public markets, we go deeper into the asset classes that define the modern investment landscape: private equity, infrastructure, real estate, hedge funds, private credit, and venture capital.
We exist to give ambitious students at King's real exposure to these markets through education, events, industry speakers, and practical case competitions.
“The private markets that move the world.”
Founded April 2026 · King's College London
