About Research Challenge 2022-2023
The Research Challenge is a competition in which student teams from area business schools prepare an equity research report on an assigned company and present their findings to a panel of investment industry experts.
This annual educational initiative is designed to promote best practices in research among the next generation of analysts through hands-on mentoring and intensive training in company analysis.
