The road to the CFA Global Finals

Five SAF students—Luka, Jai, Hemadri, Charlene, and Josh—advanced to the CFA Institute Investment Research Challenge Global Finals, competing against the best students from 1,000+ universities worldwide.

Backed by months of research and industry insights, their confident “buy” recommendation for BRP showcased adaptability, teamwork, and resilience, earning them a top-tier finish on the global stage.

Near the end of March, SAF's team of fourth-year students, Abisha (AFM), Colette (SFM), Dhiya (SFM), and Lucas (SFM), had the opportunity to represent the University of ݮƵ for the first time at the McGill Desautels Business Ethics Case Competition in Montreal.

On March 22–23, our team of 3rd year students, Jei, Nishan, Tianna ( AFM), and Anoosha ( Biotech/CPA), had the opportunity to represent the University of ݮƵ at the Van Berkom John Molson Small-Cap Case Competition, hosted at Concordia University in Montreal. The competition brought together students from across North America to pitch investment ideas for small-cap public companies over two fast-paced, high-intensity days. 

In January, Gurpartap, Leo, Brishank, and Franco—second-year Accounting and Financial Management students—participated in the Eclipse Case Competition at the University of Toronto.

The competition brought together students from across Ontario to solve business challenges in four streams: Sales Management, ESG Strategy, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. Read on to learn about their experience competing in the Technology stream!

Accounting and Financial Management students Ian, Luka, and Chiranjeev reflect on their experience competing in the Toronto Metropolitan University’s annual Battle on Bay case competition. They secured a second-place position at this three-day event, comprised of various networking events, pitches and socials which concluded with an awards ceremony and gala dinner.   

In November, Arnav, Anmol, Aidan, Joanna, Kabir and Luka, had the opportunity to represent the School of Accounting and Finance and University of ݮƵ at the ACIIC Fall Stock Pitch Competition. This competition is an intercollegiate stock pitch competition among 10 of the biggest business programs in Canada including schools like Western University, Queens University and University of British Columbia. 

Michael’s journey in the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program came with challenges, including the lack of Black representation in accounting—but it also sparked a drive to create change! Through mentorship, UWBASE, Blackleaf Capital, and co-founding the ݮƵ Black Business Society, he’s building a community that uplifts and empowers Black students.
