Awarded by: Hong Kong Society of Financial Analysts-University Research Competition
A team of year 3 students won the Hong Kong Society of Financial Analysts' University Research Competition, thanks to some smart digging into the prospects of giant Hong Kong property developer Sino Land.
The annual contest aims to promote professional investment research among Hong Kong students. Teams from all seven universities, plus one from Shanghai, were allowed seven weeks to dissect the performance and prospects of a top listed company. Then each gave written and oral presentations to a panel of judges made up of experts from the financial services industry, major corporations and university professors.
Global business students Omesh Fabiani, Aquila Chu Tse Ying, Hui Yik Pan and Accounting's Simon Fang Lin, were mentored by two property stock sector experts from JP Morgan's Asia Pacific Equity Research. The judges complimented the four on their professionalism and understanding of the company and industry, as well as their teamwork and ability to answer tough questions during their presentation.
