The CFA Institute Research Challenge is a global competition which tests the analytical, valuation, report writing, and presentation skills of university students. Last year nearly 2500 students from over 546 universities in 45 countries participated and learned best practices in equity research from leading industry experts.
Local CFA societies host and launch local competitions involving teams of three to five business and finance students from participating institutes who work directly with a local company in researching and preparing a company analytical report. FLAME students won the 1st position in 2012 in the western India competition, beating many reputed and renowned Business Schools.
