ABOUT THE CFA INSTITUTE GLOBAL INVESTMENT RESEARCH CHALLENGE:
The CFA Institute Global Investment Research Challenge offers students the unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts and compete with peers from the world’s top business schools. This annual educational initiative is designed to promote best practices in equity research among the next generation of analysts through hands-on mentoring and intensive training in company analysis and presentation skills.
Over the course of the competition, university teams of 3-5 students each are mentored by industry professionals in writing an equity research report on a publicly traded company. The teams then present their findings to a distinguished panel of experts. Past panelists included directors of research, chief strategists and CIOs from many of the leading investment firms.
This year, CFA Institute member societies held local competitions with nearly 1000 students from over 200 universities worldwide. Local winners advance to regional competitions in Asia, Europe and the Americas, and four teams will compete in this year’s global finale on April 2, 2009, in London. (Source: CFA Institute)
