Competitions

Following our maxim of “learning by doing”, students get the opportunity to work together and partake in competitions, from the SBM stock pitch challenge to global contests. Every term, analysts can prepare compelling pitches and showcase their stock-picking skills in front of a panel of judges within our low-pressure environment of the fund for training purposes. In constructive dialogues, the volunteer experts provide detailed feedback to the presenters for them to further refine their ideas.

BVH Portfolio Challenge

2024

In October 2024, our dedicated team of analysts and traders managed to win an award for best portfolio performance among 36 student investment clubs, using a strategy based on financial derivatives. 

2025

In 2025, we are leveraging our experiences from past competitions by critically reflecting on our approach to trading and portfolio risk management as well a tailoring our strategy to the current market environment and requirements set out for each competition in order to advance our performances.

This year’s BVH Wikifolio Challenge 2025 scoring system (Link ) is designed to promote diversifcation and minizing downside risk, measured by tools such as the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and an exponentially growing downside risk penalty factor.
