Invest for Impact Competition
UNC developed the Invest for Impact competition to give students exposure to the field of impact investing. As this is a relatively new field, industry practices are changing rapidly as investors find new ways to measure impact, and develop new investment mechanisms that are more appropriate for impact focused companies.
THE COMPETITION
Impact investing has experienced rapid growth over the past decade but further growth is required to provide the capital necessary to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
RULES & REGULATIONS
All enrolled full-time graduate students, including executive MBA, are eligible to compete. This includes students in non-business graduate level programs.
AGENDA
The 15th annual Invest for Impact competition will take place early 2022, during the spring semester. The event will be in person on the Kenan-Flagler campus.
