MBA students advance to finals of global research analysis competition

Three School of Business students, part of “Clark Team 2,” were selected as one of just four final teams for the CFA Institute Research Challenge — a global competition that engages students as research analysts and requires a rigorous analysis of publicly traded companies. Teams are judged on their analytical, valuation, report-writing, and presentation skills.

MBA students Prajwal Balaji, Akhil Kumar, and Steve Pellissery, who are all concentrating in finance, defeated teams from Boston University, Northeastern University, Merrimack College, and Endicott College and will be heading to the CFA Society Boston Chapter, where they will share their research during the Local Finals Competition.
