Fall 2020 Competition #1
October 10, 2020
For the first Stock Pitch Competition of the 2020-21 academic year, the Big Red Investment Club hosted a
similar competition style to the one in May 2020. Competitors submitted reports and videos virtually
but were able to connect in-person and access valuable research tools, like Bloomberg terminals.
This competition produced some of our portfolio’s most successful holdings to-date and built
confidence in the club’s ability to compete in the 2020 CFA® Equity Research Challenge.
