The Babson team—from left, Liubov Mykhailyshyn MSF’25, Emilio Oliva ’25, Carlos Roberto Dias Neto MSF’25, and Wanrong (Sloane) Zhu ’25—placed seventh at the Rotman International Trading Competition.

Babson College placed seventh out of 35 leading international universities at the 2025 Rotman International Trading Competition in Toronto. Babson has an impressive track record, including winning the competition in 2009 and placing second in 2007 and 2010. More recently, the team placed fourth in 2020 and sixth in 2024.

The Rotman International Trading Competition (RITC) is an annual event that brings teams of students and their faculty advisors from universities worldwide to participate in a unique two-day simulated market challenge. Teams trade five different cases, and Babson placed high in each of them, including mergers and acquisitions (seventh place), commodities (ninth), sales and trading (13th), algorithmic CAPM forecasting (10th), and algorithmic quantitative arbitrage (seventh). Each case involved building and calibrating complex models in Python and several weeks of intense work in preparation.

Sponsored by the Stephen D. Cutler Center for Investments and Finance, the Babson team was comprised of Emilio Oliva ’25, Wanrong (Sloane) Zhu ’25, Liubov Mykhailyshyn MSF’25, and Carlos Roberto Dias Neto MSF’25 and supported by faculty advisor Ryan Davies.

The competition includes teams from leading universities such as Columbia University, Cambridge University, New York University, and Carnegie Mellon.
