The Brandes Institute, a division of Brandes Investment Partners^®, investigates diverse topics related to investing and portfolio management. We share our findings through presentations and published reports at our website. We also develop and run interactive simulations designed to illustrate concepts through “hands-on” participation. The latest is . . . the Manager Challenge.

What is the Manager Challenge?

The Manager Challenge is a team competition: a web-based, investment strategy simulation. It was created to provide an interactive way for investment professionals to test and sharpen their manager selection and monitoring skills in a competitive, yet fun environment. The Manager Challenge reflects the Brandes Institute’s goal of delivering “education through engagement.” It provides a competitive environment in which participants can sharpen their skills in manager selection and monitoring – while learning valuable “real world” lessons.
