CFA Institute Research Challenge has become one of the most important initiatives organized for students thinking seriously about their future career. It is also the best competition for young analysts who want to develop their skills in research, analysing and valuation of public traded comapnies, as well as to improve their competences in presentation of their results, which are crucial for professional analyst.

Last year 33 teams represented by 25 best universities in Poland competed for the ticket to the regional level of Research Challenge in Dublin.  This year you may become a member the best group who will join to rivals in Zurych! The winners can be sure of exceptional emotions, but we have also prepared attractive prizes. The CFA Institute Research Challenge is a ticket to your career that stands out in the labour market. What is important we celebrate 10th anniversary of the local Research Challenge this year.

We cooperate with local universities, which select teams from 3 to 5 people (maximum two teams from the university). Each team must have a Faculty Advisor from the university. Under the mentor's supervision, the team conducts research on the subject company for the purposes of the CFA Institute Research Challenge. Teams may use only publicly available information in conducting their research.

The report is evaluated by a group of financial professionalists and then presented to experts, who finally select the team to represent the country at the regional level. The winning team from Europe will make it to the world finals.

This year's subject company is PKN ORLEN.
