Fixed Income and Macro Central Bank Challenge

Apply to compete in the Citadel Fixed Income and Macro Central Bank Challenge!

Combine your passion for Economics with your intellectual curiosity to take part in this two-day challenge in New York City and London, where participants will work together in teams of four to propose a monetary policy recommendation and present their findings to a panel of judges.

Over the course of the event, participants will also have the opportunity to network with members of the Fixed Income and Macro team, participate in a fast-paced Trading challenge, and experience what it’s like to work at a firm at the forefront of finance and technology.

First- and second-year students with a deep interest in markets that are studying Mathematics, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science or other STEM related degrees are encouraged to apply.

Travel and accommodations will be covered by Citadel, and winners will walk away with cash prizes!
