Since October 2015, ten teams from throughout the Global Network for Advanced Management have been competing in the Global Network for Advanced Management Investment Competition, creating portfolios with the aim of achieving the highest risk-adjusted returns over six months. A new tool on the Global Network for Advanced Management website tracks the performance of each team’s portfolio. The competition is sponsored by the Yale International Center for Finance.
Each of the teams assembled a portfolio of stocks from companies based in their home countries at the beginning of the competition. They first competed in the Security Analysis Prize Competition, presenting their investment strategies to a panel of judges. Teams from Koç University Graduate School of Business and National University of Singapore Business School shared the prize of $5,000.
The teams are now competing for Performance Prizes, to be awarded on April 29 to the team (or teams) with the top risk-adjusted portfolio returns over six months.
The new performance tracker includes a leaderboard of the teams’ current returns and charts showing their returns over time. As of March 9, the team from ESMT European School of Management and Technology is in first place with a return of more than 42%.
