Samsung Securities, 400 Million KRW Total Prize Real Investment Competition 'Easy Investment Festa'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Ji-hwan] Samsung Securities announced on the 30th that it will hold the practical investment competition event 'Easy Investment Festa' until October 29.

This event is open to any customer holding assets of 100,000 KRW or more with Samsung Securities, who can participate through MTS (mPOP), the simple investment app O2 (Otu), excluding HTS.

Participation in 'Easy Investment Festa' begins with a 'Stock Tendency Test.' Based on the results of the 'Stock Tendency Test,' participants are automatically assigned to one of five animal teams: Lion, Rabbit, Sheep, Bear, or Hawk. Each team's ranking is determined by calculating the team return rate based on the average return rates of its members during the event period.

The total prize money for this event is 400 million KRW (100 million KRW for the 1st round, 100 million KRW for the 2nd round, and 200 million KRW for the 3rd round). Simply participating in the team investment competition grants up to 1 million KRW in investment support funds to the first 30,000 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

Pre-registration for the 1st team investment competition begins on August 30. The event runs for 17 days starting September 13, followed by the 2nd and 3rd rounds on September 27 and October 18, respectively.

Individual customers participating in the team investment competition will receive prize money differentially based on their team's ranking and their contribution to the team's return rate. In addition to the team investment competition, various events such as attendance check events and O/X quizzes will be held on mPOP and O2 during the same period.

A Samsung Securities official explained, "This investment competition is a new type of competition different from the previously held 'University Student Mock Investment Competition' and 'Practical Investment Competition,' designed as a squad-type investment competition requiring teamwork." He added, "We arranged various elements to stimulate the interest of fun consumers (Fun+Consumer), not just staying within simple financial management."
