University Ethics Challenge

Registrations are currently closed. Stay tuned for updates on our next University Ethics Challenge intake.

The CFA Society Malaysia Ethics Challenge is designed to increase students' awareness of the ethical dilemmas and issues they may face when they enter the investment management industry. The participating teams are required to analyze a real case containing a variety of ethical dilemmas faced by the investment professional and formulate to resolve these issues. The teams will then present their conclusion to a panel of expert judges for the chance to win the Challenge and represent Malaysia to participate in the APAC Regional Grand Finals.

The CFA^® Ethics Challange embodies the mission of CFA Institute by promoting 'the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional excellence'.

In addition, it focuses on many of the elements of CFA Institute's Future of Finance initiative. Equally as important, it helps prepare those entering the investment profession for the ethical challenges that they will face in the workplace.
