The University of Toronto Finance Association (UFA) Presents the Portfolio
Management Challenge
The world's financial markets have grown dramatically in size and complexity.
Witness the escalation in transaction volumes, the proliferation of innovative
new financial instruments, and the re-formulation of entire paradigms brought
about by the profound impact of technology. While these globalizing market
developments promote efficiency, they also demand increasingly sophisticated
and well-informed in-depth analysis. To foster an environment where the
theories and principles of the classroom can be applied to the systems and
standards of the real world, the University of Toronto Finance Association will
be holding the inaugural Portfolio Management Challenge (PMC) at the Rotman
School of Management.
Through regular meetings from January to March 2002, this unique and dynamic
new tournament will bring together the best and brightest students from a range
of programs at U of T. The PMC will integrate the discretionary management of
an investment fund with the latest financial tools and technology available in
the state-of-the-art Financial Research and Trading Lab
(http://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/finance/lab). Using the real-time data feeds
and applications available in the Lab, PMC Student Analysts will explore the
fundamentals of constructing a diversified investment portfolio, the role of
sector-specific valuation models in pricing securities, and the impact of risk
management strategies on trading decisions. Workshop seminars delivered by
professionals from leading firms in the finance industry will bring to life key
aspects of the capital markets. The lessons learned in valuation, research
methodology, and general quantitative analysis will be beneficial, regardless
of eventual career path. Finally, PMC Student Analysts are eligible to win
cash prizes for superior performance: $1,000 for the overall winner; $500 for
second overall; and $100 for third overall.
By becoming a PMC Student Analyst, you can develop highly marketable financial
and technical skills as well as gain practical and insightful knowledge on
investing. To apply, submit a cover letter and resume to
finance.association@xxxxxxxxxxxx The application deadline is Tuesday, January
22. In your cover letter, please be sure to provide evidence of the following:
