Stonehill FMA Stock Market Challenge

Each year, our FMA chapter challenges students interested in the financial markets to participate in an equity portfolio management competition.  Students interested in the competition join a stock market simulation that monitors, tracks, and measures the performance of securities bought and sold by the student managers.

The player or team with the greatest gains for the stock challenge period is
recognized with their names on the Devin Cup
and the top three players or teams receive prizes for their efforts.

 

The competition has specific rules that attempt to mirror what professionals
can and can not do. The program is also designed to stimulate interest in the
Stonehill College Inspire Finance Initiatives, a series of academic programs designed to teach leadership skills and advance external educational opportunities.

The Devin Family Cup
