QUMMIF celebrates another successful year with their outstanding Final Investment Competition
The Queen Mary University Investment Fund (QUMMIF) has once again delivered an impressive finale to its annual Investment Competition, marking another successful year for this student-led initiative. The competition, held at Queen Mary University of London, showcased the talents of 12 outstanding finalist teams, each presenting their investment strategies before a panel of seasoned finance professionals.
QUMMIF, part of the MSc Investment Fund programme, is a student-managed fund responsible for managing over £40,000 in real investments. This unique programme continues to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world financial practice, offering students hands-on experience in equity research, portfolio management, and financial analysis.
This year’s finalists demonstrated remarkable levels of professionalism, dedication, and analytical rigour. Their well-researched stock pitches and clear understanding of market trends were a testament to the months of hard work and preparation they invested in reaching the final stage.
A judge on this year’s panel summed up the calibre of the event:
“It was a real pleasure to be part of the event and witness how impressively the competition has evolved over the years. Each year, the level of preparation and strategic thinking from the participating teams continues to grow — a testament to the exceptional organisation behind the scenes. It’s been inspiring to see the calibre of presentations and the thoughtful approaches to investment analysis.”
QUMMIF continues to be a flagship opportunity for students to gain industry exposure, sharpen technical skills, and deepen their passion for finance through practical experience. The Investment Competition not only builds confidence but also strengthens the employability and leadership potential of its participants.
The School of Economics and Finance extends its thanks to all the students, judges, and supporters who contributed to this year’s success — and looks forward to seeing how the next generation of finance leaders will rise to the challenge.
