Varsity Pitch Competition 2024

We were thrilled to bring back Varsity Pitch Competition for a third rendition in partnership with our friends at Cambridge University Finance and Investment Society. This year, the finals were held in the prestigious Oxford Cambridge Club in London. For the second year running, we welcomed international submissions in search of the best investing talent. The 2024 competition was sponsored by Point72 and Fidelity Investments.
