Sunway TES team is the champion

Sunway’s team emerged champion at the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute Research Local Final Challenge 2014, beating teams from two other Malaysian universities. The competition was hosted by CFA society Malaysia. The CFA Institute Research Challenge is an annual global competition that provides university students with hands-on mentoring and intensive financial analysis training. Students assume roles of research analysts and are tested on their ability to value stock, write initiation of coverage report and present recommendations.

Sunway’s team comprised of four: Ang Hui Mei, Ng Jia Wen, Ong Yue Wen and Wilson Chiong Zhan Hua, 21 year old students of Sunway TES Centre for Accountancy Excellence, currently pursuing Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) programme. Winning the challenge proved they demonstrated a high caliber of business intellect and financial knowledge.
