About the
IFSA Network
Since its establishment in 2014 at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the IFSA Network has been committed toward bringing its members:
Personal Growth: Learn through our workshops, presentations and challenges and grow both personally and professional.
Network Expansion: We help you connect to fellow students, the people that went before you and students around the globe.
International Opportunities: Get inspired by international cases, competitions and networking opportunities like no other.
Having set up multiple international events in the past, we are now bringing the same inspiring and ambitious events closer to you.
Our International Flagship event
Global Case Competition at Harvard
Claimed as one of the leading (undergraduate) case competitions by the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), the Global Case Competition at Harvard (GCCH) is one of the world’s most prestigious case competitions organized by students. With this case competition, we intend to deliver a world-class learning experience through a hands-on business case, while providing networking opportunities to connect aspiring analysts with leading firms.
Upcoming Events

Major International Events
IFSA Traders' Cup
Organized in 2017 and 2018, the IFSA’s Traders’ cup was the largest student-organized trading competition in the world. Student teams each received $100,000 cash to trade various US stocks, funds and ETFs and the team with the highest returns on the initial capital won the competition.
