We're announcing that TIES are participating in Nobias Intercollegiate Investment Challenge and we'd like to allocate the maximum amount of 5 teams we possibly can. The Challenge is a global challenge that all universities/colleges around the world can participate in ranging from Yale, Whorton and Stanford to Oxford, Cambridge and now Essex has been given the privilege to join.
Firstly, it's just an excellent way to practice and gain an understanding of how it is actually to invest.
If you think you're a better investor than students at Russell Group Universities and Business universities; this challenge would be good to prove your investment strategies/thesis in a simulated competitive environment against them.
Additionally, It would be great for your CV when making spring insights/ summer internship and placement year applications at various financial institutions if you have displayed the technical skills against others in the talent pool.
Lastly, there's some sweet dosh on the line so it's a good way to fund that summer holiday to Dubai some of you have planned.
