Baruch MFE Program

The Baruch MFE Program won the 2023 Rotman International Trading Competition (RITC) that took place virtually this weekend competing against 42 other universities from 13 countries from four continents: Australia, Canada, Croatia, France, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Thailand, United Kingdom, and United States.

We acknowledge and thank our partner Virtu Financial who sponsored the participation of our students at the RITC competition this year.

This is the 7th win overall for our program at RITC and the 6th win in the past eight years. This winning consistency is all the more remarkable given that our graduate students can compete for only one year, while undergraduate students on other teams participate for up to five years.

Moreover, our students established a new all-time scoring record in the competition! They won the Volatility Options Trading and the Electricity Trading cases and were third in the Liquidity Risk and Algo Trading cases.
