We are excited to announce that applications for the 2014 edition of the Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge are now open!
The Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge
is a global competition that challenges students to propose and defend
a sustainable impact investing strategy that uses finance and
investment tools to create an innovative solution to an environmental
or social issue.
To participate in the Challenge, teams of students are asked to
submit a two-page prospectus outlining their impact investing strategy
and the issue that it is addressing by February 25, 2014. Ten finalist teams will then be chosen and flown to the Morgan Stanley headquarters in New York for the final event on April 4, 2014,
where they will pitch their idea to a panel of judges comprised of
recognized leaders in the sustainable investing arena. Winners will
receive $15,000 in prizes, additional support to launch their idea,
plus invaluable networking opportunities with leading professionals in
the impact investing field.
Additionally, we are looking for professionals with experience
evaluating financial vehicles across an array of asset classes for
portfolio inclusion who would be willing to participate as first round
judges. First round judges are asked to read several two-page
investment prospectuses and provide a numerical score and qualitative
feedback for each submission based on a provided rubric. The
approximate time commitment is 2-3 hours.
The Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge is a great
opportunity for students interested in impact investing to network with
leading professionals in the field and for professionals to be exposed
to the next generation of leaders in the space.
Please help us to spread the word about this global competition!
