The highlight of the summer experience is the MMI Gateway to Leadership Business Case Competition. This year’s challenge is to recognize the potential of the BRIC countries; Brazil, Russia, India and China and their potential for investment. The class of 2010 will research and assert the logic of a portfolio diversification strategy that considers allocations that may include BRIC or other emerging global economies. The solution will include specific products and services for specific investing demographics. Each of the Gateway teams will submit their solution for review by an esteemed panel of experts. The winners will be announced at the 2010 Gateway to Leadership closing ceremonies in New York on August 6th. The winning paper will be posted on the MMI website.
