Investment Comp
Registration is now open for the 2026 Future IM/Pact National Investment Competition.
This is THE student investment competition of the year, where gender-balanced teams of 2-4 students pitch real investment cases to leading investors for a chance to win paid internships.
In line with Future IM/Pact's mission to support women and diverse talent, at least 50% of each team must be female (but can also be all-female!). If you don't have a formed team yet, simply register as an individual and you’ll be placed with one.
This year there's a greater emphasis on the judges' Q&A, giving you more time to showcase your thinking directly to investors actively looking for emerging talent. If you want an inside advantage, join Career Connect and chat with experienced investors who can help you formulate your ideas, stress-test your analysis and practice potential judging questions.
