ETF Global Portfolio Challenge

To: All UG students

The “ETF Global Portfolio Challenge” is now open for registration. This Challenge is an individual-based, simulated investment challenge that aims to provide a fun and educational platform to foster the understanding of investment and exchange-traded products (ETPs). Since its inception in Fall 2015, the Challenge has drawn thousands of students from nearly 500 universities in six continents. Students will construct a portfolio utilizing between four and ten ETPs using a virtual endorsement of $100,000.

All top 25 contest winners will visit and network with 400+ financial professionals at the ETP Forum held in New York City by The Expert Series. Winners may have the opportunity to visit one of the major exchanges. The top 5 winners from each contest will be recognized on various platforms, including the Challenge’s website and in-person at the leading ETF industry conference.
