ACS Capital, a licensed capital markets firm in Sri Lanka, has announced a strategic partnership with the Edinburgh University Trading & Investment Club (EUTIC), Scotland’s largest student-led investment fund. The collaboration is designed to strengthen academic-industry engagement while positioning Sri Lanka as a case study within the global investment landscape.
EUTIC, founded in 1998, has established itself as a leading platform for financial education, managing a diversified portfolio and offering students hands-on exposure to global markets. By joining forces with EUTIC, ACS Capital aims to broaden international awareness of Sri Lanka’s role within frontier markets and highlight investment opportunities that often remain under-researched.
Commenting on the partnership, Ryan Thineth, Head of Strategy at ACS Capital, said:
“This partnership provides a valuable platform to highlight Sri Lanka’s position within frontier markets and to advance academic-industry engagement, supporting the development of future financial leaders with a stronger understanding of under-researched economies.”
The initiative highlights ACS Capital’s commitment to bridging academia and industry, while reinforcing Sri Lanka’s relevance in international investment conversations. It also aligns with the firm’s goal of nurturing financial knowledge and creating global linkages for frontier markets.
