BBAC sponsors AUB's Virtual Stock Exchange Competition

BBAC sponsored a six-week competition, Virtual Stock Exchange Competition, organized by the Business Student Society at the American University of Beirut (AUB). Participants were granted a certain amount of virtual money which they were to invest and track in corporate stocks as they saw fit in order to reap the highest possible returns.

The objectives of the competition are to encourage participants to strategize their use of the stock exchange, incorporate analytical skills and their understanding of the industries in which they chose to invest, and learn the intricacies of dealing with shares on the stock exchange.

The top 5 participants presented their tactics and plans to a panel of judges consisting of AUB finance professors and BBAC finance specialists. BBAC also offered financial awards to the winners with the highest returns and soundest investment strategies.
