With information in hand, each team creates a report with a buy, sell or hold recommendation then presents and defends its choice to a panel of industry professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>To make it to the finals, the UTC team won the Americas Regional semifinals by beating five other colleges: University of Waterloo, Seattle University, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Brigham Young University-Idaho and California Polytechnic State University. The University of Waterloo won the America Regionals finals in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time a UTC team made it to the Americas Regional finals in the CFA regional competition. They made it to the 2017 regionals but didn\u2019t advance.<\/p>\n<p>In this year&#8217;s Americas Regional finals, the UTC team faced Jacksonville University, Marquette University, Universidad del Pacifico, and Tufts University. Jacksonville University won the finals and is going to the Global Finals that start April 27 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was truly a team effort to make it as far as we did. As the only all-undergraduate team that made it to the final round it was amazing. I could not be more proud of the team,\u201d says team member Shane Cortiss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also helps us students see how much we can learn when applying everything from our classes and the SMILE Fund. It also shows we are getting a great education in the College of Business when we can compete with MBA students and beat them,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>More than 5,000 students representing over 1,000 teams from universities in more than 80 countries took part in the 2018 CFA competition. In the Americas Regional, 440 universities competed with 54 making it to the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>To reach the Boston competition, the UTC team won the Greater Tennessee Regional Challenge. Seven teams were in the Tennessee Regional, including Belmont University, Eastern Tennessee State University, University of Evansville, Austin Peay State University and the University of Tennessee Challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The UTC team\u2019s presentation was livestreamed.
