The competition fund is a £60,000 fund which is partitioned and managed by different teams. Each student team is given £10,000 at the start of the year and must try and generate the highest return by the end of the year to win a prize. Entry to the fund is highly competitive via a comprehensive interview process.
Each team gathers weekly for strategy meetings in which they review their portfolio and talk about interesting stocks and markets. Teams must do a lot of research before placing a trade and trades are only executed by the chairs of the fund upon receipt of a detailed analyst report.
The whole fund meets weekly to learn about analytical techniques and discuss macro trends.
Edward Jones - Chairman, Thomas Cole - Vice Chairman
