About the Competition

Sponsored by Overlook Investments Ltd., Lau Chor Tak Institute of Global Economics and Finance (IGEF) is organising the third Value Investment Proposal Competition (“the Competition”) in March 2022, offering undergraduate students a unique experience of learning value investment techniques from top industry experts and applying such knowledge in a competition setting. Participants are expected to attend a series of lectures and then submit an investment proposal; winning teams will receive cash prizes of up to HK$60,000.

Each participant can enter the Competition as a member of only one team.
