About TRAIC
Empowering the next generation of finance professionals through alternative investment education and community.
Become TMU's definitive launchpad for Alternative Investments - an inclusive, execution-driven community that turns raw ambition into analyst-ready talent. We aim to be trusted by employers as a reliable pipeline, by faculty as a serious academic partner and by students as the place where skills, character, and opportunity meet. Over time, we'll scale our impact beyond campus to a Canada-wide network that shapes industry conversations and opens doors for our members.
TRAIC exists to convert potential into capability. We deliver compact, high-signal training (analyst sprints, deal/case labs, technical toolkits), direct mentorship from practitioners across Private Equity, Venture Capital, Infrastructure, Credit, Commodities, Digital Assets, etc. and consistent, career-focused events that create real firm touchpoints. Our culture is merit-based, collaborative and high-character - built on integrity, inclusion, disciplined execution and measurable outcomes like placements, skills growth, and lasting relationships. In our inaugural year, we'll focus on building strong fundamentals so every member leaves more skilled, more connected and ready for the next step.

Why Alternative Investments?
Alternative investments offer unique opportunities for diversification and potentially higher returns compared to traditional asset classes.
Alternative investments often have low correlation with traditional stocks and bonds, providing valuable diversification benefits for investment portfolios.
Many alternative investments offer the potential for higher returns, though often with increased risk and longer investment horizons.
Real assets like real estate and commodities can provide natural hedges against inflation, preserving purchasing power over time.
Alternative investments often represent cutting-edge financial innovation, from cryptocurrency to new private equity structures.
