How to Prepare
Teams participating in the competition are encouraged to prepare themselves by reviewing a case from a previous year. This will allow the teams to become familiar with the support materials they will receive at the competition. Remember: at the competition teams need to value a small cap company and provide a recommendation based on specific investment criteria.
INVESTMENT CRITERIA
Does the company represent a high-quality, well managed, but mispriced small-cap company that can be part of a well-diversified small cap portfolio for the long term? Specifically, does the company have:
· Outstanding management
· Sustainable competitive advantages
· Free Cash Flows
· High returns on capital
· Trading below intrinsic value
