Friday, May 21, 2021 - After 12 weeks, the Spring 2021 ETF Global® Portfolio Challenge has come to another exciting conclusion! The eleventh iteration of this semi-annual contest was decided by less than one percentage point. In the face of unprecedented volatility, participants in the global competition were still able to uphold their impressive performance record and build resilient, high-performing portfolios.
Our contestants all began the semester with a virtual balance of $100,000 and with the task of constructing the best performing portfolio of ETFs. Students were afforded weekly rebalancing opportunities and could invest in a minimum of 4 and maximum of 10 ETFs at a time. Despite facing heavy competition all semester, these select students were able to separate themselves from the rest of the field.
Here are the Top 5 Winners:
