Tiger Brokers Launches “Star Presenter” Award at CFA Challenge

Tiger Brokers (Hong Kong) has announced its sponsorship of the 2025–2026 CFA Institute Research Challenge—Hong Kong Local Final. This marks a significant initiative by the firm to enhance talent development and professional education within the finance sector. As part of this year’s competition, Tiger Brokers (Hong Kong) introduces the “Tiger Brokers Presents: Star Presenter” award, aimed at recognizing participants who excel in clarity, analytical rigor, and professional presentation.

The CFA Institute Research Challenge, organized by the CFA Institute and CFA Society Hong Kong, is renowned as one of the most prestigious global competitions in the investment community. This year’s event marks the 22nd Hong Kong regional final, where university teams will conduct comprehensive analyses of a selected publicly listed company and produce detailed research reports. Students, guided by industry mentors, will gain invaluable experience in company analysis, valuation modeling, and presentation skills—essential tools for forging successful careers in finance.

At the opening ceremony, John Zeng, Group CFO and CEO of Tiger Brokers (Hong Kong), expressed pride in supporting the local final. He stated, “We are honored to support the Hong Kong Local Final and sponsor the ‘Star Presenter’ award—a new addition that celebrates the art of clear, ethical, and impactful communication. Beyond great research, the ability to tell a persuasive and responsible story is what defines outstanding professionals in finance. Through this initiative, we hope to inspire students to approach their careers with both analytical excellence and integrity.”

The commitment to education and youth development has long been a cornerstone of Tiger Brokers’ philosophy. Earlier in 2025, the company collaborated with the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University to launch the inaugural Tiger Brokers Art Prize and to sponsor the AVA BA Graduation Show. This initiative aimed to provide emerging creative talent with visibility and industry opportunities. Additionally, the firm operates structured internship and mentorship programs that connect university students with hands-on experience and professional guidance, bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world application.
