Every year, students from leading universities around the world compete for the title of the best financial analysis student team. More than 30 universities from all over Russia, as well as universities from Belarus and Azerbaidzhan, took part in CFA Insitute Research Challenge (CFA IRC) 2019/20.
As part of the CFA IRC competition, teams under the guidance of a mentor prepare and then present to the jury an investment recommendation in regard of the shares policy of a well-known public company.
Based on the results of local competitions, the best team from each country (two teams will go from Russia) first goes to the EMEA regional semifinal, then to the EMEA regional final and after that to the global final. HSE Team consistently takes high places at the Russian CFA IRC stage and on numerous occasions has represented Russia at the international competition stages, including Amsterdam, Chicago, and Prague. Last year, the the EMEA regional semifinal which our team also went to, was scheduled in Jordan, but took place online.
This season, the competition will be held entirely remotely at the Zoom.
