A team of five ICMA Centre Students, Richa Patil, Stephane Caps, Peter Bamrud, Andres Acevedo Vega and Bogdan Mihaila, won the CFA Institute Research Challenge UK and moved forward to face off against Europe’s finest in the EMEA Final to win the chance to complete on the global stage.
The worldwide competition includes thousands of students from over 1,000 Universities in more than 75 countries.
As part of the challenge, students work in teams to research and analyse a publicly traded company and write a research report on their assigned company with a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. The students may then be asked to present and defend their analysis to a panel of industry professionals.
At the EMEA final In Dublin, our students held their own against stiff competition from some of Europe’s top Universities but did not progress further in the competition.
Despite the result, the students commented that they’ve gained a huge amount of knowledge, confidence, and contacts from this experience and are proud to have won the UK competition.

New study: sustainability ratings are a reliable indicator of countries' solvency
Munich, 16 October 2013 – There is currently a high level of uncertainty on the international financial markets, due to the budget dispute in the USA surrounding the proposed raising of the borrowing limit. The markets are waiting with bated breath to see whether the Democrats and the Republicans will be able to agree on raising the debt ceiling, which currently stands at just under 17 trillion US dollars. The key question for investors is whether the USA and other countries will be able to pay back the debts they have taken on or whether, as in the case of the debt cut in Greece, they can expect to see losses on their investments. A recent study based on sustainability rating agency oekom research’s country ratings shows that sustainability ratings are a reliable indicator of countries’ solvency and that taking sustainability ratings into account allows investors to make a better assessment of the overall risks.
