This spring, Point72 was proud to sponsor two student stock pitch competitions across Asia—the GYOSEKI Case Competition in Tokyo and the Nanyang Capital Stock Pitch Challenge in Singapore—reflecting our commitment to financial education and talent development in the region. At its core, these competitions ask students to do what analysts do every day: dig into the fundamentals of companies, build forecasts, and form differentiated views. Markets are widely followed and information moves fast; to generate alpha, you need to understand a business at a level that goes beyond the surface. GYOSEKI and Nanyang put students through that discipline early.
GYOSEKI Case Competition, Tokyo
For the fourth year in a row, we sponsored this rigorous two-month financial analysis challenge. This year’s competition brought in over 270 students from more than 50 universities competing across over 160 teams.
The main event featured representatives from Point72 for panels and discussions that gave students a direct window into what a career in investing looks like in practice. Ahead of the finals, senior leaders from our APAC business rotated through each of the six finalist teams, offering direct mentorship on how to best present their ideas.
Nanyang Capital Stock Pitch Challenge, Singapore
Point72 also sponsored the Nanyang Capital Stock Pitch Challenge at Nanyang Technological University. Now in our fourth year of supporting the competition, it brought together over 800 students from more than 7 universities to pitch a long or short recommendation on selected public equities.
Following a month-long tremendous effort, the top six finalists presented their recommendations to a panel of judges, which included investment professionals and talent development leaders from Point72.
Thank you to all who participated in these events!
