Research Challenge Finals Event

Associated with  CFA Society Philadelphia

The CFA Institute Research Challenge is an annual global competition that provides university students with hands-on mentoring and intensive training in financial analysis and professional ethics. Each student will be tested on their analytical, valuation, report writing, and presentation skills. They gain real-world experience as they assume the role of a research analyst.

 

CFAP is the host of the local, Philadelphia-area competition. Twelve area schools submitted research reports on the Subject Company, Carpenter Technologies (NYSE: CRS). The reports are graded by a group of CFAP volunteers. The student teams with the top four scores advances to the local Finals Event at the Union League. The finalist teams will present their research to a panel of judges to determine the local winner. Our local winner will advance to the regional rounds of the competition. The global Finals event will take place in Hong Kong in May.
