Good luck to the AIM Investment Banking Team Competing Today at the NIBC in Vancouver

The 2016 National Investment Banking Conference is being held on March 23 - 24, 2016, at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. The event includes an investment banking case competition open to all universities. NIBC’s objective in designing the case and competition process is to provide students with an authentic investment banking experience.

Competing in the NIBC allows undergraduate and graduate students to distinguish themselves and attain international recognition from their peers and senior industry professionals. Competitors will utilize and develop corporate finance analysis, financial modeling, and pitching skills which are essential for a successful career in investment banking.

This year, 25 undergraduate and 25 graduate teams from the initial 335 teams were invited to advance to the Final Round of the NIBC competition. Teams will be challenged to analyze an investment banking transaction opportunity and prepare a live boardroom presentation to a group of investment banking professionals. Dr. David Krause, AIM program director said, "We are honored to again advance to the final round of the NIBC - the universities that compete are the top undergraduate and graduate business schools in the world. I know our team will be highly competitive. This is a very talented group of students who are all headed into careers in investment banking and capital markets."
