2026 Future IM/Pact Investment Competition

Not long now until registrations open for the 8th annual Future IM/Pact Investment Competition, supported by UNIT.

This is one of the most prestigious competitions of the year. Gender-balanced teams of 2-4 students present their investment case to some of Australia’s most senior investors, competing for paid internships with leading investment firms.

Pre-register now for the 2026 competition, hosted by Schroders.

This year, the competition will place a greater emphasis on the judging panel Q&A, giving students more time to showcase their investment thinking directly to investors who are actively looking for emerging talent.
