Thank you for your interest in the 2023 UNC Kenan-Flagler Alpha Challenge. The event will be held in Chapel Hill on November 29, November 30, December 1

The Alpha Challenge is considered the premier MBA event in the investment management industry. The event presents an opportunity for 3-person teams to present their investment analysis for both long and short recommendations from a predefined list of companies. MBA students from the top programs around the world come to Chapel Hill for this unique opportunity to present in front of some of the top portfolio managers and analysts in the industry.
Each year, UNC Kenan-Flagler invites 5 prospective MBA students to attend the Alpha Challenge.
