With the conclusion of the Portfolio Management Competition, we have collected all the required data and are proud to announce the sector teams who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the year: 1st Place: Energy 2nd Place: Emerging Markets 3rd Place: Technology We would like to congratulate and thank all teams for their participation in the competitions first edition and we hope the society can continue to build on this in future years! The top placed teams have been determined by the teams who generated the highest excess returns above their corresponding MSCI index. We chose to measure performance through an excess return method as despite teams being able to execute long and short positions, there is varying volatility between sectors which highly affects each teams opportunity to generate returns. Considering this, excess returns against each sector’s benchmark was deemed the most the appropriate method to provide a fair assessment of portfolio performance. Please see below the indexes used to measure each sector’s performance: Energy: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Energy UCITS ETF - (LSE: ENGW) Consumer Retail: Weighted average between: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Consumer Discretionary UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE: WCOD) - SPDR®️ MSCI World Consumer Staples UCITS ETF (LSE: WCOS) Healthcare: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Health Care UCITS ETF (LSE: HEAW) Technology: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Technology UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE:WTEC) Emerging Markets: - SPDR®️ MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (LSE: EMRD) Industrials: - SPDR®️ MSCI World Industrials UCITS ETF USD Acc (LSE: WNDU) Special Situations: - SPDR®️ MSCI World UCITS ETF (LSE: SWRD)
