TEAMS FROM TAYLOR'S UNIVERSITY MENTORED BY AMINVESTMENT BANK BERHAD SECURED TOP 2 POSITIONS IN THE INTER-VARSITY STOCK CHALLENGE 2019
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- AmInvestment Bank Berhad (“AmInvestment Bank”) is pleased that its mentees from Taylor’s University were the Champion (winning the grand prize of RM 30,000) as well as the 1st Runner-Up (prize money of RM 20,000) at the Inter-Varsity Stock Challenge 2019 (“IVSC”). The IVSC is a three-month long interactive stock trading competition for local university students. The competition was jointly organised by N2N, an integrated e-commerce securities trading solutions provider, with the support of AmInvestment Bank and three other securities firms.
“Congratulations to both teams for clinching the Top 2 placings in the Stock Challenge. We are delighted to have played a major role in their winning performance and hope that the invaluable experience gained by all the participating teams in this competition will give them a strong foundation in share investments”, said Gan Kim Khoon, Executive Vice President, Head of Equity Markets, AmInvestment Bank Berhad.
Seohan Soo, Chief Executive Officer, AmInvestment Bank Berhad commented, “This Inter-Varsity Stock Challenge is a good platform to raise awareness of stock market investing and promote financial literacy amongst millennials who are the next generation of investors. We hope to continue to be part of such events in the future.”
A total of 787 teams from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Multimedia University and Taylor’s University participated in the Inter-Varsity Stock Challenge. The teams were put to the challenge of achieving the highest returns from investments with a virtual initial investment capital of RM100,000 each. Apart from demonstrating the ability to maximise investment returns, they were also required to demonstrate a sound understanding of investment principles and strategies.
AmInvestment Bank took the initiative to organize an industry mentorship with a total of six workshops, led by our Joseph Chai Lipe Tatt, Head of Retail Research, AmInvestment Bank Berhad. The success of the top two winning teams can be attributed to Joseph Chai as he took these students under his wings and provided both guidance and feedback throughout the competition.
“The event was an excellent opportunity to introduce the stock market industry, especially Bursa Malaysia and how stock trading works, to students. Not only were they hardworking, the students showed off their creativity in the game by unleashing their potential in stock trading, albeit in a virtual environment. It was exciting to witness the students’ growth in different ways and how they executed various strategies in order to win the competition. The final results showed that they have exceeded all expectations and I believe that we should introduce this competition in more universities as it would allow students to learn and practice in a risk-free environment, providing an avenue to nurture their interest and develop their talent in stock trading,” said Joseph Chai.

SINA AMINI AND 'TEAM TRANSFORMERS' ANNOUNCED AS TOP WINNERS OF MAYBANK GO AHEAD. CHALLENGE (MGAC) 2019
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- After an intense 10-day competition, the Top Winners of the Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge (MGAC) 2019 were revealed at The Party in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. MGAC, Maybank’s award-winning, multi-disciplinary talent acquisition and recruitment programme, which is in its 8th instalment this year, remains an innovative recruitment platform to spot, build and nurture diverse, global talent.
Sina Amini from Iran was named the Global Champion of MGAC 2019. Sina Amini from Monash University was awarded an opportunity to pursue a two-week internship at any Maybank office around the world. Meanwhile, ‘Team Transformers’ comprising Finalists from Malaysia, Cambodia, the Philippines and Thailand emerged as the Global Champion, and walked away with an all-expenses paid trip to attend the Future Festival Chicago – an innovation conference that gathers all of Chicago’s top innovators to experience future trends while prototyping disruptive ideas using the same award-winning innovation workshops used to help NASA prototype the journey to Mars. ‘Team Dark Knight’, with Finalists from Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Iran, and Cambodia was the 1st runner-up and won an all-expenses paid trip to the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal where Fortune 500 companies, ground-breaking start-ups and world class speakers will gather later this year. The 2nd runner-up went to team ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy’ comprising finalists from Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines who will be attending the Singapore Fintech Festival. This Festival will bring together key executives and decision makers from global financial institutions and corporates, innovators and technologists from FinTech start-ups to unicorns, investors, and academia.
MGAC has taught me that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it and you've got to be open to taking on new challenges. The simulations we experienced have taught us to be resilient even when things are not in your control but having the Maybank team and our assessors guide us definitely helped us to keep moving forward and grow as individuals and a team,” said Lee Dai Wei, Team Leader of Team Transformers.
The ultimate reward for the shortlisted Finalists is a conditional offer to join Maybank in its entry-level pipeline programme, the award-winning Global Maybank Apprentice Programme (GMAP). The two-year rotational management trainee programme offers best in-class development, on-the-job training, and assigned coaching by Maybank’s senior management and the opportunity to undergo international assignments at any Maybank office in the 18 countries it is present.
