Sponsor the MSCF 2024 Trading Competition and Support Women in Quant Finance! We are thrilled to announce the creation of the MSCF Women in Quant Finance Club, an initiative dedicated to empowering and supporting women in the field of quantitative finance. Our mission is to foster an inclusive and inspiring environment that promotes professional growth, academic excellence, and personal development. Through mentorship, networking opportunities, educational events, and advocacy, we aim to bridge the gender gap in quantitative finance and cultivate the next generation of female leaders in the industry. We are committed to promoting diversity, encouraging innovation, and providing our members with the resources and support needed to excel in their careers and make meaningful contributions to the field. We would love to collaborate with you to host and sponsor a range of events for the 2024/2025 academic year. These events will include company visits, virtual sessions, women’s panels, networking opportunities, and social gatherings, all designed to provide valuable insights, connections, and experiences. We are excited to announce that our first major event will be the MSCF 2024 Trading Competition on November 2, 2024! This exhilarating one-day competition at Carnegie Mellon University will bring together over 150 talented students from our MSCF program as well as Carnegie Mellon’s undergraduate programs to showcase their quantitative and trading skills. Inspired by the renowned Rotman Trading Competition in Toronto, this event expands access to market simulation games and offers exclusive networking opportunities with our sponsors. As teams of CMU students compete for prizes, they will also demonstrate their ability to understand and successfully execute complex trading strategies. We are reaching out to you, our valued employer partners, to invite your company to join us as a sponsor for this exciting event. Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to engage with some of the brightest young minds in the field, support diversity in finance, and gain exposure within the CMU community. If your company is interested in sponsoring our Trading Competition, please contact me at qhw@cmu.edu. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the next generation of leaders in quantitative finance.
