Stock X Challenge, an intercollegiate online stock trading competition, organized by First Metro Investment Corporation in partnership with the Philippine Stock Exchange has officially started. This year, competition is expected to be more challenging as 155 teams, consisting of two to four college and university students from various parts of the country are competing for the top spot which will be announced in May next year.
The competition is an online stock trading tournament accessible thru the PSE website which provides players with real world trading experience using a virtual capital of P10 million. For the first time, participants of the competition are also given access to FirstMetroSec’s online platform where different research and investment tools are made available to help them in stocks trading.
Prior to the start of the competition, participants were required to attend the Stock X Challenge Portfolio Management Seminar to prepare them for the tournament. Three seminars were held in Metro Manila and one each in Davao, Baguio and Cebu. More than 1,000 university and college students attended the seminar series which is a unique and exclusive feature of the tournament. The seminar presented a mixture of lectures and case study exercises that will aid the students in strategizing for the competition. It also aims to develop skills and discipline needed in making investment and trading decisions.
The top three teams with the highest portfolio value at the end of the competition will win cash prizes, shares in the First Metro Save & Learn Equity Fund and initial investment in FirstMetroSec online plus trophies.
In its launch last year, Team UPD-GURUS from the University of the Philippines made it to the number one spot, followed by SBC_DREAM from San Beda College and TeamMONARCHS01 from Southville International School and Colleges.
The tournament was conceived to support First Metro’s advocacy on investment literacy and its mission to develop the Philippine capital markets. It is a vehicle by which a new generation of young Filipino investors can be developed by creating awareness, educating them and at the same time giving them real world trading experience.
