KAMLOOPS — A team from Thompson Rivers University (TRU) successfully defended its CFA Societies Provincial Ethics Challenge. It beat out teams from the University of B.C. and the University of Victoria at the competition held last week at the Segal Graduate School of Business in Vancouver.

The team is made up of Guylene Shaw, Alokesh Barai, Sa’adiy Bello Mikailu, Lakshmi Bhavani Chintala, and Julia Clapp.

It is the third consecutive win at the provincial level for TRU. And it allows the school to defend its 2019 national championship when it is held May 1^st in Montreal.

The Ethics Challenge asks teams to analyze and evaluate a case study, identifying ethical dilemmas according to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics & Standards of Professional Conduct.

The CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge is open to post-secondary students across Canada and designed to build presentation skills and connect Canada’s brightest emerging finance professionals with those already working in the industry. In addition, participants can familiarize themselves with the CFA Institute Future of Finance initiative which is a long-term global effort to shape a trustworthy, forward-thinking investment profession, where investors interests come first.
