OAF x Anthropic AI-Powered Stock Pitch Competition 2026

The Oxford Alpha Fund is pleased to announce the inaugural OAF x Anthropic AI-Powered Stock Pitch Competition, open to undergraduates across the United Kingdom. Participating teams will be equipped with complimentary Claude credits and challenged to produce a long or short recommendation on a mid-to-large cap equity, with judging carried out by portfolio manager-level professionals from our sponsor firms. Five teams will progress to a virtual final on Wednesday, 27th May, with prizes of £1,500 and £500 awarded to the top two teams.
