Kiwoom Securities Hosts University Student Mock Investment Competition... Participants Surpass 10,000

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kiwoom Securities announced on the 16th that more than 10,000 people participated in the mock investment competition for university (graduate) students held during the winter vacation season.

Now in its 28th edition, the Kiwoom Securities University Student Stock Mock Investment Competition is held annually to establish a proper investment culture among students, offering generous benefits to winners. The top three winners in terms of returns receive scholarships (4 million KRW, 3 million KRW, and 2 million KRW) and internship opportunities, while those ranked 4th to 10th receive scholarships of 1 million KRW each. Participants ranked 11th to 100th are awarded 50,000 KRW in cash each. All winners from 1st to 100th place receive a certificate from Kiwoom Securities for the mock investment competition.

Changes from previous competitions include the prohibition of margin trading and an increase in deposit funds to 50 million KRW. Additionally, during the first week after the competition starts, participants are granted a revival ticket that allows them to reset their returns. However, this revival ticket can only be used once during the competition period and cannot be restored after use, so it must be used carefully.

Various prize events are also held for participating students throughout the competition period.

All students participating in the Kiwoom Securities mock investment competition will receive a Dunkin' Glazed Donut, and those who share posts related to the mock investment competition on social networking services (SNS) will be entered into a draw where 600 winners will receive a set of Golden Olive Chicken and 1.25L Cola. Furthermore, participants who open a non-face-to-face account for the first time during the competition period will receive 10,000 KRW in cash. In addition, among students ranked within the top 200 weekly trading amounts, a prize draw will be held to award one 4th generation iPad Air and 21 AirPods Pro. More detailed information can be found on the mock investment competition event page on the Kiwoom Securities website.

Registration is available through the Kiwoom Securities website, Hero Moon 4 (HTS), and Hero Moon S (MTS). For detailed information and inquiries about the university student stock mock investment competition and events, please visit the Kiwoom Securities website or Kiwoom Financial Center.
