CFA Society Los Angeles is proud to host the CFA Institute Research Challenge in Los Angeles. This year’s subject company is Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc.  



We invite you all to attend this great event to watch graduate and undergraduate students present their analysis of a local company to a panel of judges and industry professionals such as yourselves. The students put a great deal of work into their written reports and presentations and will benefit even more from presenting to an enthusiastic audience!

The presentations begin at 3:00pm on Friday, March 3rd at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Networking and cocktail hour begins at 5:30pm. A component of this event that will be of interest to students and CFALA members is our Career Chat presentations. The speakers will give brief presentations during the networking portion of the event and discuss their diverse career paths.
