A team of four business students from NTU's Nanyang Business School has been crowned the Asia Pacific champion in this year’s Global Investment Research Challenge, beating eleven university teams from countries such as China, India, Japan and New Zealand. The competition – which aims to promote the practice of professional investment research among university students – requires participants to conduct investment research and analyses into publicly listed companies. The NBS team, which represents the entire Asia Pacific region, will travel to London in April to compete against teams from the Americas and Europe in the final round of the challenge. Some 890 students from over 200 universities worldwide have participated in the prestigious competition.
