Founded at UBC Sauder in 2025, the Sauder Capital Markets Challenge (SCMC) is a student-run, CUS-funded finance case competition designed to immerse students in the world of corporate deal strategy and execution. SCMC was created to bridge the gap between classroom concepts and real-world capital markets challenges. Through rigorous, professionally crafted cases and exclusive networking opportunities, the competition offers students the chance to sharpen their analytical skills, pitch strategic recommendations, and connect with finance professionals from around the world. Today, SCMC stands as a dynamic platform for students to explore careers in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance, while building a collaborative community of ambitious, like-minded peers.
