London Excursion 2026

Following last year's debut, the Aalto Private Equity Club is heading back to London,  the international heart of private equity and venture capital.

This September, 18 students will spend several days getting a first-hand look at how leading investors operate across the private markets. The program brings together visits to some of the most respected names in PE and VC, including Apollo, Atomico, Bain Capital, Left Lane Capital, Warburg Pincus, Highland Europe, ETF Partners and more.

Across the visits you'll learn about each firm's unique focus areas and the key trends shaping their industries, work through real case problems in PE/VC and get an honest look at what junior roles actually involve along with practical tips for pursuing a career in the field. Just as importantly, you'll experience all of it alongside a group of like-minded students.

The trip runs from Wednesday to Saturday, 16 to 19 September 2026. AaltoPEC takes care of all the practical arrangements, including flights, accommodation, company visits and a dinner. The participation fee is 360 euros. Please note that registration is binding, and payment will be required upon confirmation.
