Judging Criteria
The competition standard has been further raised to test participants' analytical skills based on technical and fundamentals parameters. This year we are introducing a new judging criterion for the finalist teams at the Grand Finale that is the Use of Predictive Analytics Tools. This is to encourage participants to apply predictive analytics to forecast share price movements and predict stock market performances based on historical data and global events.

At the Grand Finale, each team has a maximum of 10 minutes to present your strategy to a panel of judges. This is then followed by a 10-minute Q&A session. The team with the highest total score will be crowned the Regional Champion of the CIMB ASEAN Stock Challenge 2017!

  • Score is calculated based on the highest % returns of the team's cash on hand and market value of shares in portfolio, from the team's initial capital.

Post-Game Portfolio Performance
 
  • Each team's portfolio will be captured at the end of game and their portfolio performance will be reviewed again prior to the Grand Finale. This is to assess team's long term investment strategy.
  • Score will be based on the highest % returns on the last trading day before the Grand Finale made by each team in relation to other finalists.
