MIPC 2021 - Finals Presentations & Awards Ceremony

The top 5 teams out of a total of 114 teams from 26 countries will present live their proposals to this year's innovative case in front of Chief Investment Officers and other high-level executives from some of the world's largest institutional asset managers. They will be competing for C$50,000 in cash prizes, and their solutions will form the basis for how investment managers around the world can build socially equitable, yet profitable portfolios in the midst of the kind of rising geopolitical and socio-economic tensions we see today.

The fifth edition of the McGill International Portfolio Challenge (MIPC) focuses how long-term asset managers can find ways to sustainably generate returns while minimizing risks in the current environment of ultra-low bond yields. The case focuses on the ongoing pension reform in the Netherlands and study the portfolio design of a (fictional) newly launched collective defined contribution plan (CDC) that provides new possibilities for workers and pensioners to share risks.
