For the second consecutive year, the Investment Challenge will
be launched in partnership with Banca Generali. Italy’s top private
bank has a strong background in sustainable investments and will
accompany students through the different levels of the
competition.
This year’s edition will also be supported by MainStreet
Partners and MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate School of Business.
MainStreet Partners, a London-based company specialising in
sustainable investments and portfolio analytics, will provide the
ESG ratings for the competition. MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate
School of Business will also support, having confirmed its
commitment to projects with a strong experiential approach and
based on advanced experiments in the field of finance and financial
investments, such as the Reply Sustainable Investment
Challenge.
Participants from all over the world will have virtual capital
of $1 million to trade in real-time in the US market. As well as
deepening their knowledge of ESG ratings, it will also improve
their basic knowledge of finance and investing. The goal of the
Challenge is to help participants identify the best companies to
invest in, in order to achieve a positive impact for future
generations.
Registration will open from 8th March to 16th April.
Participants will get the chance to register and learn to invest in
a sustainable way in a safe environment through learning pills
(bite-sized tutorials), online webinars, and tests on investment
and ESG basics.
During the qualification phase – from 19th to 30th
April – portfolios will be credited with $1 million and all
participants will begin to compete against each other online.
They’ll then be ranked and evaluated based on their sustainable
investment choices.
The top 100 traders to maximise profits by investing in the best
ESG-rated companies, will progress to the final round on
12-14th May and the three most ESG-conscious investors will
each receive a prize.
The Investment Challenge is part of Reply’s Challenges
programme, which aims to target the most innovative trends in
coding creativity, cyber security and finance. Since 2018, more
than 100,000 people have joined the Reply Challenges community, and
last year more than 8,400 players took part in the first Reply
Investment Challenge.
Registration for the Reply Sustainable Investment Challenge is
open until 16th April. Sign up at challenges.reply.com.
