Within the scope of agreements made with 17 universities, including Istanbul Ticaret University, students can access the necessary training and resources to obtain this valuable certificate. These agreements give students the power to compete in international financial markets and prepare them for a global career.
What is the CFA Institute Research Competition?
CFA Institute Research Competition is a global competition that assesses university students’ skills in financial analysis and subjects them to an intensive training program through experienced mentors. Students participate in the competition with the teams they form and are tested on their analytical, valuation, report writing and presentation skills by analyzing a real company. Students are expected to report and make detailed analysis as a research analyst on behalf of the company they work for. In summary, they conduct both qualitative studies via the market status and company structure and quantitative studies via the financial techniques.
As part of the competition, students are required to conduct research about a selected company as if they are real financial analysts, analyze the data they collect and write a report based on their findings. The competition is important in that students undertake a serious company valuation project and apply their theoretical knowledge into practice.
