Biannual Stock Pitch Competition

The spring edition of our bi-annual competition. Each participant independently researches and presents a single stock pitch. Judges evaluate thesis quality, valuation rigor, and presentation clarity. The winning pitch is added directly to the SIF portfolio.

Stock Pitch Workshops

Preparation sessions ahead of the competition

Hands-on workshops led by senior analysts covering idea generation, financial modelling, valuation frameworks, and presentation skills. Open to all LBS students preparing for the competition or looking to sharpen their pitch craft.

Pitch Requirements

All pitches must include a comprehensive business overview, identification of key drivers, a full valuation model (DCF/FCF), risk analysis with bear/bull scenarios, and an assessment of management quality and capital allocation track record.

Open to All LBS Students

Competitions are open to all LBS students, not just IMC or SIF members. This ensures fresh perspectives and talent discovery, with top performers often invited to join the fund as analysts.
