A team of University of Nicosia (UNIC) Business School students represented the University at the CFA Institute Research Challenge, competing against six other universities from across Cyprus. Over a three-month period, the team produced a comprehensive equity research report and delivered a strong presentation to a panel of expert judges in finance and investments.
UNIC’s team achieved an excellent second-place result, finishing just one point behind the first-place team. Throughout the final presentation, the students demonstrated professionalism, confidence, and a high level of technical competence, responding to judges’ questions with the clarity and composure expected of industry professionals.
