IIM Bangalore’s PGP team among winners of the 2021 Global Bloomberg Trading Challenge

Vivek Kumar, Dhiraj Kumar, Nabajit Paul and Mayank Jha win second best spot in Asia and fourth best in the world

24 November, 2021, Bengaluru: A team from IIM Bangalore’s Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) has been adjudged one of the winners in the 2021 Global Bloomberg Trading Challenge. The IIMB team gained the second best spot in Asia and fourth best in the world in the contest. 

The faculty advisor for the team was Prof. M S Narasimhan of the Finance & Accounting area of IIMB. The team captain was Vivek Kumar, and the other team members included Dhiraj Kumar, Nabajit Paul and Mayank Jha.

The 2021 Global Trading Challenge by Bloomberg for Education saw around 3,000 people participating, featuring 488 teams and 14,445 trades. The data was segregated into schools and countries, and a leaderboard was constructed for each region. During the contest, all the participants gained immense experience and insight into the challenges and opportunities of successful investing.

The Bloomberg Trading Challenge, according to its website, is the only university investment competition to take place entirely within the Bloomberg Terminal. Teams of three to five students, led by a faculty advisor, will use the Terminal to define market assumptions, develop a return-generating strategy, and execute trades over a closed network. The winning team will have the highest Relative P&L, relative to the Bloomberg World Large, Mid & Small Cap Price Return Index (WLS Index).
