Awards
Toronto CFA Society's Awards program promotes high quality research
on pertinent issues affecting Canadian markets that will add to the
industry's body of knowledge.
2010 Investment Research Challenge
The Challenge is an equity research competition among student teams
from the world’s top university business and finance programs.
Students write an equity research report on a publicly traded company,
and present their findings to an expert panel. The teams are judged on
their written reports and the presentations and a winner is selected.
Throughout the competition, leading investment professionals volunteer
as mentors and judges and teach these students best practices in equity
research and corporate analysis.
