THE ACG CUP: The Premier MBA Competition

The ACG Cup is a case study competition designed to give students from leading MBA programs real world experience and invaluable insights into mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. Each case study provides students with a unique opportunity to present valuation, capital markets and M&A strategic advice to a panel of seasoned M&A professionals from within the local ACG community. The competition is carried out through a series of intra-school and regional competitions, with regional winners awarded the prestigious ACG Cup title and cash awards.

THE ACG CUP VALUE PROPOSITION

Opportunity • Experience • Visibility

Participating in the ACG Cup provides students with the unparalleled opportunity to:

- Interact and network with leading finance professionals and organizations
- Gain insight into the inner workings of corporate finance through a variety of transaction
perspectives
- Meet and develop relationships with potential employers, team members and mentors
- Experience the opportunity to apply critical academic skills to a highly realistic M&A case study
- Enhance and polish presentation, team-building and networking capabilities
- Win meaningful cash awards

“This is a fantastic opportunity for students. The competition gets them in front of many of the ‘big dogs’ in the southeastern Wisconsin business community. The students display their teamwork, presentation, marketing and finance skills in front of these leaders, many of whom may be prospective employers. And it gives the business leaders a unique look at the brightest talent the local MBA programs have to offer.”

- Tom Nye, Associate with Robert W. Baird & Co., and a member
of 2009 winning UW–Madison team
