The online competition saw record numbers, with over 13,750
participants from 95 countries generating a total traded value
of over $8.2 billion by trading in companies with the best ESG
rating, as the aim was to achieve the best impact for future
generations.
From the outset, participants demonstrated an ability to
identify and invest in products with a positive ESG rating,
in line with the competition's sustainable investing objective.
From day one, 67% of the transactions were carried out on
instruments with a positive ESG rating, i.e. an ESG rating of 3 or
more 3 (on a 1-5 scale). A further evolution in investment
strategies was noted during the competition: participants came to
identify virtuous stocks more effectively, increasing the
percentage of traded products with ESG scores above 3 – a testament
to the skill of the participants.
To better prepare for the challenge participants were able to
deepen their knowledge of ESG ratings and broaden their general
finance and investment skills through exclusive e-learning
content specially created by Reply, Banca Generali, MIP
Politecnico di Milano and MSP.
On the podium of the 2022 edition of the Reply Sustainable
Investment Challenge stood:
Nigel Cledwyn Motinius, 22, a law student at the
University of the West of England (Bristol), who took the first
place with a ranking value of 98,852.47;
Antonio Villano, 23 years old, an Economics and Finance
MA student at the University of Milano-Bicocca, with a ranking
value of 75,002.96 achieved by investing exclusively in securities
with a positive ESG rating, took the second place;
Giacomo Gazzo, 23, a Management Engineering student at
the Politecnico di Milano, who took the third place with a
ranking value of 81,507.37.
"The participants’ ability to change their strategy during the
course of the competition in order to find more sustainable stocks
highlights their level of knowledge and skill,” explained
Roberto Tognoni, a Reply Executive Partner. “We are
extremely satisfied with the huge success of this new edition of
the Reply Investment Challenge and with the Reply Challenges
programme in general, which shows how essential is to engage with
the new generations of talent through new and innovative training
dynamics".
We are happy with the extraordinary success of the Sustainable
Investment Challenge 2022. The high level of participation in the
event is a sign of strong interest from young people in savings and
investments, with a particular focus on sustainable investments.
The results achieved and the building of many of the portfolios in
the competition are a sign of maturity from younger generations,
which opens an interesting opportunity for reflection within our
sector," commented Carmelo Reale, General Counsel and Head of
Sustainability at Banca Generali.
