(London.CityRegions.com, July 29, 2013 ) England, UK -- The fall 2012 InvestWrite competition first-place winner was Chelsea Lautigar, a student at Forest Lake High School in Minnesota. The InvestWrite student essay competition is sponsored by the Financial Markets Association foundation along with the Securities Industry and is the wrap up activity for the annual Stock Market Game. The Stock Market Game is an online investment scenario in which students in grades four through twelve manage a hypothetical $100,000 in an online portfolio. The students conduct research online; consider real-world economic trends and events, then develop investment recommendations and write an essay offering investment advice. Lautigar submitted her essay through her personal money management class taught by Alan Anderson. The Stock Market Game was part of the curriculum of the class and Lautigar claimed the top prize in Minnesota’s high school division. Lautigar wrote about the differences between PepsiCo and Coca-Cola that affect their stock prices as well as events that may shape each company’s future. Anderson said, “She wrote on how Michelle Obama’s initiative for more healthy eating and school lunches affected the stock prices and profit of the Pepsi and Coke soft drink companies.” Nationwide, 20,000 students take the InvestWrite challenge and the Stock Market Game has 600,000 participants each year. The essays are judged by industry professionals and teachers. They evaluate overall understanding of the stock market, the expression of ideas and the student’s analysis of asset allocation. In Minnesota, InvestWrite and the Stock Market Game are offered by BestPrep, a not for profit organization that provides students with career, business, and financial literacy skills. According to independent research organization, Learning Point Associates, participants of the game score notably higher on financial literacy tests and mathematics than their peers who did not participate. The Jumpstart Coalition’s test of high school students’ financial literacy named the program the only one that successfully increased scores.
