The Security Analysis prize contest in the GNAM Investment Competition, sponsored by the International Center for Finance at the Yale School of Management, ended in a tie, with the teams from Koç University Graduate School of Business and National University of Singapore Business School emerging as co-winners.  The distinguished panel of four judges included Jim Chanos, Founder & President of Kynikos Associates; Eddie Tam, CEO & CIO of Central Asset Investments; Katalin Gingold, Co-Head of Equity Research at Cartica Capital; and Kimball Brooker, Deputy Head of Global Value Team at First Eagle Investment Management.

Ten teams entered the competition, and after reviewing many terrific submissions the judges chose four teams which exhibited exemplary security analysis to move on to the final round of the Security Analysis competition. The four teams, which in addition to Koç and NUS included IE Business School and Seoul National University Business School, had the opportunity to pitch their ideas via videoconference to the judges and compete for the Security Analysis Prize. The winning teams were chosen based on the quality of their investment thesis, research, responses to questions, and presentation skills.

All ten teams that entered the competition are eligible for the performance prize which will be decided in April 2016.  Read more about the competition >>
