By way of background, the annual NUS Asian MBA Stock Pitch Competition in Singapore hosted by the Centre for Asset Management Research & Investments (CAMRI) at NUS Business School provides a forum for top MBA students in Asia to compete and showcase their equity research and stock-picking skills in front of a panel of distinguished judges from the investment industry. The event challenges teams of finance students from up to ten elite universities in the Asia Pacific region to prepare and present buy/hold/sell recommendations and vigorously defend those recommendations. The intense competition is designed to replicate the fast-paced, demanding experience of fundamental analysts and asset managers in the real world. So as to increase the level of competition and camaraderie between the students, the Asian MBA Stock Pitch Competition also welcomes students from top Masters of Finance programs from business schools in the Asia Pacific region. The NUS Asian MBA Stock Pitch Competition is held in partnership with The Parker Center for Investment Research at The Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University.
