MTU Business Students Win National Competition

A group of business students from Michigan Tech recently took the top prize in a national competition.

Tech Today reports that Team Gold from the Applied Portfolio Management Program claimed the top spot in the Quinnipiac University Global Asset Management Education Forum XI portfolio competition – Undergraduate Value Portfolio division. 

Students on the team include Carissa Beyer, Kyle Clow, Ben Diercks, Brette Eychner, Brandon Malburg, Tyler Sepanik, and Irene Trierwieler. 

During the year-long competition, students had to consider general economic factors in their portfolio management, along with unusual events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, inflation, and the war in Ukraine.

Each year, a group of MTU students takes over the Applied Portfolio Management Program, which manages more than $2 million in real money in US stock and bond markets.
