Students from the Master’s program in Finance at our faculty achieved an outstanding result. In the national finals of the CFA Institute Research Challenge, they secured 3rd place among universities across the Czech Republic.

Filip Matoušek, Roman Pokorný, Tomáš Prosecký, and Vlastimil Zukal achieved the highest placement ever for our faculty in this competition.

The CFA Research Challenge is one of the most prestigious student competitions in finance. Each year, it connects thousands of students worldwide with investment professionals and leading financial institutions.

Participants gain hands-on experience in skills that mirror real-world work as financial analysts. They focus on company analysis, valuation, preparing professional reports, and maintaining high ethical standards.

We congratulate the team on this exceptional achievement and thank them for representing the faculty so impressively. Their success demonstrates that MENDELU PEF students can compete at the highest level.
