QUMMIF June 2026

Queen Mary Master Investment Fund (QUMMIF) – Final Investment Competition 30th June 2026

The Queen Mary Master Investment Fund (QUMMIF) successfully held its 2026 Final Investment Competition on 30 June 2026, marking the culmination of a year of research, analysis, teamwork, and preparation.

This year's competition brought together 10 outstanding finalist teams, each presenting a carefully developed investment case to an exceptional panel of finance professionals. The quality of the presentations was outstanding, showcasing the confidence, technical ability, analytical rigour, and passion for investing that our students have developed throughout the programme.

Following a highly competitive evening of presentations and discussion, the judges selected this year's winning teams:

1st Place: Prysmian S.p.A.

2nd Place: discoverIE Group plc

Joint 3rd Place: Sage Group plc and AstraZeneca plc

QUMMIF is much more than an investment competition. It provides students with the opportunity to apply the finance knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world investment decisions, develop practical portfolio management and equity research skills, strengthen their financial analysis capabilities, and gain first-hand experience of investment and trading. Watching students grow in confidence, professionalism, and technical expertise throughout the year is exactly why initiatives like QUMMIF are so valuable.

Opportunities such as QUMMIF are at the heart of what makes the School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University of London such a unique place to study. By combining academic excellence with practical experience and strong links to the finance industry, the programme enables students to challenge themselves, build meaningful professional connections, and develop the skills and confidence needed for successful careers in finance.

A very special thank you goes to our distinguished panel of finance professionals, who joined us as judges both in person and online from around the world. We are sincerely grateful for the time, expertise, and thoughtful feedback they generously shared with our students. Their continued support is instrumental in making QUMMIF such a valuable and inspiring learning experience.

Congratulations once again to all our finalists. Your hard work, dedication, teamwork, and passion for investing have been truly inspiring. We also extend our warmest congratulations to this year's winning teams on their well-deserved success. We look forward to following the achievements of all our students as they continue their journey in the world of finance.
