Case Package
Liability Trading Case
The Liability Trading Case challenges participants to test their critical thinking and analytical skills in an environment where they must evaluate the liquidity risk associated with various tender offers. Throughout the case, participants will encounter multiple tender offers, requiring quick decisions on whether to accept and execute, or reject each offer based on their profitability. Profits can be achieved by exploiting price differentials between market prices and private tender offers. Once a tender is accepted, participants should focus on efficiently closing out their large positions to maximize returns and minimize liquidity and market risks.
When registration closes, we will send you an email including your unique RIT Trader IDs & Password for the competition.
Your RIT Trader IDs are like tickets to a movie. Your team is given two tickets, you may sit where you like.
For Example:
Seat (Trader ID) #1: ABCD-1
Seat (Trader ID) #2: ABCD-2
Team Password: apples

Roles
Some cases require team members to play specific roles. Teams can decide which team members will play which roles.
For cases that have roles, only specific Trader IDs will be in operation, and they will be tied to a specific role.
To use our movie analogy, for each case with roles, only certain seats will be available.
Teams can decide which team members have a seat, and which team members watch from the aisle.
