Philip Trick (CAS’06, GRS’06) of Arlington, Tex., writes that he represented “the United States, Boston University, and my consulting firm, the Scruggs Group, in the international financial modelling competition, ModelOff, in London on December 4, 2016, as one of the top 20 participants.” This was the ModelOff competition’s fifth year, and it consisted of two online preliminary rounds, where competitors built mathematical models to answer a variety of questions, generally based around financial concepts. The top 50 percent in round one moved on to round two, and the top 20 scorers from the combined rounds moved on to the finals to compete for prizes. Contact Philip at philtrick2003+BU@gmail.com.
