After five months of research on this year’s subject company Trelleborg. Thursday the 22nd of February saw the three finalist teams; Linköping University, KTH and Jönköping University, in the 2018 Swedish IRC final present their recommendation and target price on Trelleborg.
Linköping University’s written report impressed the graders. The judges, Thomas Brodin (Cliens), Fredrik Ahlin (IF) and Rasmus Engberg (Handelsbanken Capital Markets) were equally convinced by the team’s BUY recommendation. The team gave a very professional presentation supported by robust financial analysis and conclusions.
Linköping University was represented by Philip Hivander, Sebastian Olsson, Viktor Trollsten and Mattias Vadsten. The team was mentored by Mats Waldemarsson, CFA and had guidance from their faculty advisor Öystein Fredriksen, Senior Lecturer.
The Board of CFA Sweden would like to thank all the volunteers that made this year’s challenge a great success: mentors, graders, judges, Christopher Sjögren at Trelleborg. A big thank you goes out to the challenge sponsors; Handelsbanken, FactSet and Kaplan Schweser.

- Mälardalen University
