FIB Bull & Bear 2026 Finals: When Dai Nam University students "battle wits" like real investors.

No longer just theoretical exercises or numbers on lecture slides, students at Dai Nam University have truly entered a real-world financial "battleground" at the FIB Bull & Bear 2026 Finals - an academic competition organized by the Faculty of Finance and Banking with the participation of many universities nationwide.

This is an annual academic competition organized by the Faculty of Finance and Banking, aiming to create a practical environment for students to hone their investment thinking, market analysis skills, critical thinking abilities, and decision-making skills in the face of financial market fluctuations.

Here, students must analyze the market, develop investment strategies, directly debate with financial experts, and defend their viewpoints like real investors.

That's also what makes FIB Bull & Bear so appealing after two seasons: it not only tests professional knowledge but also brings students closer to the real-world professional environment while they're still in university.

A battle of wits between the top 10 outstanding teams from 8 universities.

The FIB Bull & Bear 2026 Finals recently took place at Dai Nam University, featuring the top 10 outstanding teams from 8 universities across the country.

After more than five months of competition with many highly practical challenges, the teams entered the final round to present their investment strategies and directly debate before a judging panel of experienced experts in the field of finance and investment.

The atmosphere in the hall heated up with each segment of the competition, featuring sharp debates, diverse investment perspectives, and the confident demeanor of the contestants. Here, the teams not only demonstrated their professional knowledge but also showcased their logical thinking abilities, market analysis skills, and the courage to defend their viewpoints against challenging questions from the judging panel.

Commenting on the professional quality of the teams in the Final round, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Nam - Head of the Finance and Banking Faculty, Dai Nam University, highly appreciated the serious preparation, investment mindset, and critical thinking skills of the Top 10 teams.

“Observing the competition rounds, it's clear that this year's students have a solid foundation of knowledge, clear market analysis skills, and the ability to build well-structured investment strategies. Many teams demonstrated sharp insights into the fluctuations of the financial market and confidently defended their viewpoints before the judging panel. It's noteworthy that students not only grasped the theory but also knew how to apply their knowledge to handle real-world situations,” shared Dr. Nguyen Hoang Nam.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Dang Tran Hai Dang – Deputy Director of the Analysis Center and Director of the Digital Trading Center, PetroVietnam Securities Joint Stock Company (PSI) assessed that this year's competition had a high degree of "practical application" and many participating teams demonstrated professional investment thinking.

“Many contestants demonstrated strong data analysis, critical thinking, and market-following skills. In particular, students from Dai Nam University showed confidence, composure, and a positive competitive spirit when competing against many major universities nationwide. This is not only an academic playground but also an environment to discover potential talents for the Finance and Securities sector in the future,” Mr. Dang Tran Hai Dang commented.

Dai Nam University students make their mark in the practical finance competition.

One of the highlights of this year's competition is the strong impression made by Finance and Banking students from Dai Nam University, with four outstanding teams reaching the Final round.

In a highly competitive and practical arena, the teams from Dai Nam University confidently presented their investment strategies, demonstrating their market analysis skills, critical thinking abilities, and composure before the judging panel, which consisted of experts in the finance and securities fields.

In particular, student Nguyen Thanh Huyen excellently won third place overall. In addition, the teams "Gentlemen Playing Stocks," "Rich Isn't Cash," and student Le Anh Quan also received the Promising Award for their creative investment thinking and serious competitive spirit.

Having four teams participating in the Final Round not only demonstrates the professional competence of students from the Faculty of Finance and Banking but also reflects the practical training environment at Dai Nam University, where students are encouraged to learn through experience, gain professional exposure early on, and gradually develop their professional skills while still in university.

Learn for real - practice for real - grow for real

The collaboration of businesses, financial experts, and professional organizations has contributed to enhancing the practicality of the competition, while also providing students with the opportunity to access a professional investment environment even while still in university.

Concluding the 2026 season, FIB Bull & Bear is not only an academic playground for students passionate about finance and securities, but also a journey to help young people discover their own abilities, hone their investment thinking, critical thinking skills, and professional competence in a real-world competitive environment.

Through the competition, students get to experience how to analyze the market, build investment strategies, and make decisions like real investors—something not easily acquired if they only learn theory in the classroom.

This also clearly demonstrates Dai Nam University's training orientation: bringing students closer to the real-world professional environment, increasing practical experience, and helping them confidently integrate and adapt to the labor market even while still studying.
