“If done diligently and with passion, the Research Challenge teaches 99% of what you need to know to analyze a company, write an investment case, and present it to the audience. Achieving the last 1% can take all your life, as there is always something to learn. As a bonus, the Challenge may help you feel more confident and improve your presentation and teamwork skills.”

Mark Temnikov, CFA | Global Champion, 2018
