What is the MIPC?
The McGill International Portfolio Challenge (MIPC) brings together top students and industry leaders from across the globe to create innovative portfolio solutions for urgent socio-economic issues—from rising inequality and protectionism to the ESG transition.
Now in its 10th edition and part of McGill’s Sustainable Growth Initiative, the MIPC bridges academic insight and industry expertise. Each year, hundreds of investors, actuaries, academics, and students representing diverse backgrounds come together for a high-impact case competition, speaker series, and recruitment activities. A dedicated student executive team curates a rich, interactive experience around a new grand challenge each year.
The MIPC is one of the most lucrative university competitions in the world. For industry partners, it’s a chance to gain fresh solutions to timely challenges, mentor the next generation of finance leaders, and recruit top talent from around the world.

What Our Speakers Say
“A mistake is assuming that you understand stakeholders and their needs and their requirements. Taking the time to have dialogue, having the right people at the table, giving it the time that it requires, that goes a long way in being genuine and actually getting to the root of the issue.”
“As I look into this room, you are the ones, to whom in the end we are going to turn to help these governments figure out how capitalism needs to work for all of society, and not just the few.”
“A fantastic event that I hope more and more people will subscribe to around the world.”
