This year, the theme of sustainability will play an even more
central role. The objective of the Challenge, set to take place
from Monday, March 28th to Friday, April 8th of this year,
will be to invest in a sustainable way. Participants will be asked
to present sustainable but profitable investment strategies, making
choices influenced by the ESG ratings of the companies they will
invest in.
In addition to expanding their knowledge of the ESG rating
system, the competition will enable participants to broaden their
general finance and investment skills, thanks to the exclusive
e-learning content that will be made available on the Challenge
platform the month prior to the competition.
Participants in this year’s Challenge will have a virtual
$1,000,000 capital at their disposal to invest in real-time within
the US market. On March 28th, the sum will be credited to the
participants’ virtual wallets and the challenge will start.
Participants will be ranked and evaluated based on their
sustainable investment choices and only the top three – those who
have maximised their result in terms of profit and sustainability –
will win the challenge.
To demonstrate the commitment to sustainability, the Reply
Sustainable Investment Challenge 2022 will have a zero negative
impact on the environment and will be completely green. In
collaboration with LifeGate, a referent on themes related to
sustainability, the overall environmental impact generated by
organising and conducting the event has been calculated. The amount
of CO2 produced will thus be offset through the creation and
protection of forests in Madagascar.
This year, the Reply Sustainable Investment Challenge will once
again have Banca Generali as its partner. The first Italian
bank to embark on the path of offering ESG investment solutions for
families, Banca Generali will accompany students through the
different stages of the competition, concretely measuring the
results not only financially, but also in terms of their
environment and social implications.
The 2022 edition of the Challenge will also count with to the
participation of CFA Society Italy, MainStreet
Partners and the MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate School
of Business.
CFA Society Italy which, since its foundation, has promoted the
highest standards of ethics, education and excellence within the
entire financial community, is constantly focused on the latest ESG
issues that are revolutionising the sector.
MainStreet Partners, a London-based company specialising in
sustainable investments and portfolio analysis, will provide ESG
ratings that will be used in the competition.
Moreover, with its participation in the Reply Sustainable
Investment Challenge, the MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate School
of Business confirms its commitment to educating and training
financial operators who are attentive to risk and to the
sustainability of their investments.
The Reply Sustainable Investment Challenge is part of the Reply
Challenges Programme which, together with the Reply Code For Kids
programme and Reply’s 2nd level Master’s Degree in AI & Cloud
offered at the Polytechnic University of Turin, are just some of
the examples of the Group’s continued commitment to the development
of innovative training models, capable of engaging the new
generations of high performers. Today, Reply’s Challenges is made
up of a community of over 140,000 players.
