Students write an equity research report on a publicly-traded company and present their findings to an expert panel. The teams are judged and a winner selected based on their written reports and presentations.  Throughout the competition, leading investment professionals volunteer as mentors and judges, and teach the students the best practices in equity research and corporate analysis

At the final, the University of Sydney won the CFA Global Champion Award. There is no ranking for the rest of the teams.
Nevertheless, we are very proud of our team from the University of Neuchâtel! They did a terrific job! Only 6 teams participated in the final (among more than 1100+ universities that participated this year). Participating was already an incredible achievement.
