The CFA Research Institute finals will be held in New York City in April<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Three Elizabethtown College students will represent the CFA Society of Philadelphia chapter in the North American Regional CFA Institute Research competition in April after recently placing first in the local competition. The annual challenge is a global competition that provides college students with hands-on mentoring and intensive training in financial analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students showcased\u00a0Elizabethtown College’s quality of education, and more importantly were recognized by a leading finance industry institution,\u201d Elizabethtown College Associate Professor of Finance Emma Neuhauser said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the competition, students are given the unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts and compete with peers from the world’s top business schools.<\/p>\n

Mentored by industry professionals, Elizabethtown College CFA seniors Anastassiya Sayenko (Kazakhstan), Anthony Knight (Lancaster County), and Felix Goettfert (Germany) wrote an equity research report on a publicly traded company. The team then presented their findings to a panel of investment\u00a0experts and were awarded first place honors. Other colleges that presented included University of Delaware, York College, and Temple University.<\/p>\n

\u201cE-town provided us with this opportunity to put our skills out there, and I feel we excelled because of the solid foundation we gained through our finance program,\u201d said Knight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis competition is 100 percent real-world learning of what to expect by the finance professionals in the field,\u201d Neuhauser said. \u201cStudents not only gain advanced knowledge and skills in analytical work and critical thinking, they learn how to perform under pressure, time management, working as a team with diverse backgrounds and experiences as well as coping with unexpected outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

All participants are held to the standard of the CFA Institute Code of Ethics<\/a>. Etown\u2019s CFA team will be among more than 55 other teams competing in the North American regional competition held in New York City.
