Investment competitions are a critical aspect of the student journey in investment management. At these competitions, you apply industry and technical knowledge, showcase your investment ideas and strategic thinking to the investment community at large, receive real-time feedback from experienced investment professionals, network with like-minded peers and professionals as well as interview to secure internship and full-time job offers in investment management.
We provide training and support so you can participate in various investment competitions and continually hone their investment acumen. During the fall and early spring, our students participate in a variety of investment competitions, including:
