Northwestern Mutual Case Competition

The Suffolk/Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Case Competition gives you and undergraduates from other area universities an opportunity to show off your wealth management skills in a real-life setting.

Students are given a case by the Northwestern Wealth Management division [PDF], which represents the kind of wealth management done on a daily basis in the industry. Students initially submit a written proposal of approximately five pages to meet the requirements of the case. This proposal should include details about how to achieve the goals in the case.

A committee composed of Suffolk faculty will judge each case and select 3-5 teams who then present their cases to a panel of faculty and representatives from Northwestern Mutual. Finalists' presentations last approximately 12 minutes.
