The Richmond ACG Cup is a unique case study competition designed to give students from the commonwealth's leading MBA programs invaluable insight into mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, and private equity.  Through this program, we are introducing the next generation of business leaders to ACG Richmond as well as the local M&A, corporate growth, and corporate development community.  2012 marks the inaugural ACG Cup competition hosted by ACG Richmond.
