An overview of the Alpha Challenge. (2:47)
The Alpha Challenge is one of the world’s premier investment pitch competitions. Hosted annually by UNC Kenan-Flagler, this competition attracts teams of business students from leading global business schools to pitch their investment recommendation to an acclaimed group of buy-side investment professionals. The two-day event brings together over 50 top investment management firms for interviewing, networking and the competition.
On December 1-2, 2022, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School will host the premier MBA event in the investment management industry for the 18th consecutive year. The Alpha Challenge pits three-person teams from top MBA programs against one another in a competition focused on long equity and fixed income investment strategies. An internal competition determines the equity and fixed income teams representing UNC Kenan-Flagler. Each team is required to have at least two first-year students and one female student.
UNC Kenan-Flagler has a great track record at the event, winning in 2017, taking second and third positions in 2020, and finishing second in both equities and fixed income in 2021.
