CFA Association (Russia) for the first time ever is launching CFA Institute's Global Investment Research Challenge ® competition.

The Challenge is a competition in which student teams from the top local Universities and Business schools write an equity research report on an assigned company and present their findings to a panel of investment industry experts. The winning team will advance to compete in regional, and ultimately, the final of the Annual Global Investment Research Challenge ® hosted by the CFA Institute.
