With five months between now and the Capitalize for Kids Investors Conference, it might seem like it’s too soon to make plans, but the Intelligent Investing Challenge has only recently opened for submissions and will close at the end of July. A panel of prominent investors will choose the best investment thesis (long or short) on a company with a market cap of at least $250 million and a 12 – 24 month horizon.

First place gets $20,000 in cash, second place gets $10,000, and the top three places each get access to a number of independent research advisers for the next year. All three finalists also get to allocate $5000 however they want to the Centre for Brain and Mental Health at The Hospital for Sick Children. Being recognized for having submitted the best idea is an easy way to start networking at the conference as well. You have to be a full-time professional in the institutional investment industry to participate, and you will need to get explicit permission from your employer before sending your entry.
