Affiliation with the CFA Institute Research Challenge gives you the advantage of

  • Interaction with approximately 3,500 finance and business students from more than 775 of the world’s top universities

Public Companies

Each Research Challenge team analyzes a public company, writes a report that is reviewed and judged by CFA charterholders, and presents to a panel of local investment professionals. Companies that make their senior management available for questions and research gain unbiased research and recommendations from student teams.

Corporate Sponsors

Corporate sponsors can reach local, regional, and global markets by sponsoring the CFA Institute Research Challenge. Several sponsorship packages are available.

Your firm’s sponsorship will help offset the cost of travel, lodging, venues, event materials, transportation, and other expenses associated with an event of this size.
