We're celebrating! Ms. Maitner and Ms. O'Connell share that nearly 6,000 teams competed in this year's competition at Wharton School of Business at UPenn. Our team, Fig Capital, which included students Sebastian Tecza (team leader), Ahana Chandra, Benjamin Hayes, Joseph Long, Arnav Malhotra, and Ethan Zhang, was one of eleven teams invited to present at the finals at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where they placed 1st overall.
The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, experiential investment challenge for high school students (9th to 12th grade) and teachers. Students work in teams of four to six, guided by a teacher as their advisor, and have access to an online stock market simulator. Together, they learn about strategy-building, teamwork, communication, risk, diversification, company and industry analysis, and many other aspects of investing.
