It is organized by the CFA Institute (based in Virginia), which is an industry association of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). About 1,000 universities around the world participate in the CFA Institute Research Challenge every year. They will be evaluated based on the quality of their company analysis report, English presentation, and handling of a question and answer session. The competition has attracted attention as an opportunity to identify future leaders of the financial industry.
