Two teams from UIS participate in the CFA Institute Research Challenge Competition

Students took a special topics class centered around the competition last fall with Dr. Karadas and successfully submitted their equity research reports to the CFA Society Chicago, making UIS an official contestant. The CFA Institute Research Challenge is one of the most prestigious global competitions in finance.
