Inspiring Next Generation Leaders in Finance and Economics
We're excited to announce the successful conclusion of the 2024 Boston Global Investment Competition, where top students from 15+ countries showcased their talent. Ten finalists stood out for their dedication, research, and innovation.
Judged by Real Investors, Inspiring the Next Generation with Insights That Matter
Our panel of esteemed judges is professional investors managing billions of dollars and seasoned industry veterans. The evaluation process is grounded in transparency, merit, and substance—each finalist is assessed solely on the strength of their research, analysis, and presentation. Judges posed insightful questions and detailed feedback to each finalist, fostering a rich learning environment.
- Evan Morgan, Managing Director at Rosenblatt, advised: "What you have achieved is terrific! Believe it or not, less is more in investment research presentations. Hit the audience with the investment thesis right upfront and reiterate it at the end."
- Rob Bruch, Chief Investment Officer at Middleton & Company, remarked: "All of the students should be incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication they put into this achievement. You have already started on this exciting journey. Keep reading as much as you can; it will pay off as a dividend in the future." He also shared a valuable framework: "Why this company?", "Why now?", and "Why this price?"
- Kevin Garrigan, Investment Executive at WestPark Capital, emphasized: "Show confidence when presenting; it goes a long way when you sound confident during your pitch."
Looking Ahead
We look forward to welcoming even more students from around the world to next year’s competition. Let’s continue this exciting journey together—empowering the next generation of financial thinkers and global changemakers.
