2024 Point72 Academy Case Competition—New York City
The Point72 Academy Case Competition is your chance to showcase your investing skills by presenting a stock pitch to Point72 with a team from your university.

You and two teammates will research a case and assemble your unique view. Finalists will be paired with a Point72 mentor and given the opportunity to present your pitch to Point72 professionals in our New York City office. Prizes include scholarships and accelerated interview process for future opportunities. 

Prep your pitch: You and your teammates will conduct research, build a model, and submit your analysis as a presentation on a company provided to you by Point72. Point72 will review these pitches and select finalists.

Refine with a Mentor: We’ll pair each finalist team with a Point72 mentor, who will help you refine your pitch for your final presentation to the Point72 team.

Present your case: As a Finalist, you’ll earn a trip to NYC where you’ll rise to the challenge of presenting your case to members of our investment professional community. You’ll also network with your peers and representatives from our recruiting, Academy, and investing teams.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
