The annual AIDVP Investment Research Competition is a free, online investment research competition
for high school students (Group 1), undergraduate students (Group 2), and graduate students (Group 3).
Students work in teams of 3 to 5 members, to build investment research skills.
What is the competition about?
This annual investment research competition provides students with hands-on mentoring and intensive
training in fundamental-driven and consulting-oriented investment research, leveraging the AI insights,
and the stock sentiment models on our QuiverTrees platform by AIDVP. Working in teams, students gain
real-world experience as they assume the role of research analysts and are judged on their ability to
value a stock, write investment research notes, and present their final research to industry experts.
Students conduct in-depth analysis on a single company and produce investment research notes. The
winning teams are chosen based on the thoroughness of its analysis and knowledge of 1 industry and
up to 3 companies within the selected industry, rather than whether their predictions of the stock price
are correct. We are looking for the best analysis, not the best stock.
