SIFMA Foundation recently announced the student winners of the Fall 2022 Stock Market Game competition in Maine.
The top two teams with the highest portfolio value, along with their teachers and schools, were honored in the elementary, middle and high school categories.
Elementary First Place: Jordan-Small Middle School, Raymond.
Second Place: Jordan-Small Middle School, Raymond.
Middle School First Place: Jordan-Small Middle School, Raymond.
Second Place: Auburn Middle School, Auburn.
High School First Place: Nokomis Regional High School.
Second Place: York High School, York.
Participating students learn first-hand the value of long-term investing via an online educational program used by Maine teachers to boost students’ math, economics, and personal finance knowledge, while also improving their test scores and instilling essential skills for financially independent futures.
Playing individually or in teams of up to five, students use a simulation with an imaginary investment of $100,000 to trade stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Students conduct research and follow global news that can impact financial markets, then place trades in real-time via computer or the SMG smartphone app, competing with peers in their classroom and with teams across the state to increase their portfolio value. In addition, students can choose socially responsible investments by selecting companies in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
