The National Investment Banking Competition is a worldwide competition where the brightest undergraduate minds in IB work together in their team to utilize and develop corporate finance analysis, financial modeling, scenario evaluation, transaction analysis, creating pitchbooks and pitching skills which are essential for a successful career in the field.
In 2016, the UBCO team placed in the top 25 out of 300+ teams around the globe and pitched a proposal to a board of Investment Banking Executives. NIBC requires submission of a full financial analysis and pitchbook on a specified stock in the preliminary stage. This is followed by another presentation and financial analysis in the second round. Sample files from this competition are as follows:

The CFA Research Challenge is held every year and requires a team of 3-4 participants. A single stock is chosen and teams are given a couple months to prepare a report followed by a 10 minute powerpoint presentation to be submitted (WB 2016):
On the day the competition takes place, teams will present their findings and recommendation to the judges. UBCO has placed 3 of the last 4 years so we aim to have continued success in the coming years.
