So you want to be an equity analyst?

The Montreal Gazette reports that five teams of finance students, representing Concordia, HEC, McGill, Université de Sherbrooke and Université Laval will build a case for CAE, the Quebec-based aerospace company. This competition is happening worldwide as part of the International Research Challenge of the Virginia-based CFA Institute, which brings together more than 3,000 students from over 650 universities to simulate the real-world experience of an equity analyst. The event is happening today in the Montreal Stock Exchange amphitheatre.
