Elphinstone Research Group

Elphinstone Research Group is the largest student led financial research organisation of its kind in the United Kingdom and a registered charity. We are now expanding internationally.

We bring together 250+ students from 50+ leading universities across the UK and the USA, working in structured research teams spanning Equity Research, Quantitative Research, M&A, Private Equity, and Macroeconomic Analysis.

At Elphinstone, we believe finance is not just about numbers, but about understanding how markets, institutions, and policy interact to shape real world outcomes. Our work focuses on rigorous analysis, clear thinking, and producing research that is both intellectually honest and practically relevant.

Our activities include:

• In depth equity and sector research

• Quantitative and data driven market analysis

• M&A and private equity style deal analysis

• Cross university research collaborations

• Speaker events and professional briefings

• Publications through our own financial media platforms

Members gain hands on experience working on real research projects, building professional grade outputs, and collaborating in a high performance environment that mirrors the standards of the investment industry.

Our mission is to train the next generation of global finance professionals by combining discipline, curiosity, and real responsibility.
