Montana State University College of Business Students Succeeding in Business Competitions

Recently, three College of Business (CoB) students: Tyson Johnson, Andrew Kaiser and Kristian Miller, traveled to Spokane to compete in the CFA Society of Spokane Investment Research Challenge.

This is the first year that MSU has been represented at this competition. The team of students placed 2nd out of 5 university teams. WSU edged out the MSU team in the final standings but the other teams were made up mainly, if not all of MBA students. Other participating schools were Washington State University (WSU), Gonzaga, Eastern Washington University and Whitworth.

The team, coached by Peter Rubicam, adjunct instructor of finance, and Eric Flynn, alumnus with Bitterroot Capital Advisors, LLC, spent four weeks preparing an analysis of one company for the competition. They were judged on a written paper and presentation.
