The success of the annual Research Challenge competitions depends on volunteers, students, and industry:

  • CFA Institute societies and members
  • University students
  • Investment industry professionals
  • Management teams from publicly traded companies
  • Corporate sponsors

Volunteers

We rely on local hosts – typically our member societies – to invite universities and organize the local competitions. Last year over 2,500 volunteers participated in the Research Challenge in some capacity. Learn more about volunteering with the Research Challenge.
