We're Heading Into the Final Week!



Well, Week Eight of the UCU Investment Challenge 2 has come to a close, and we are in the final week of our contest. In and around the winner's circle we are finding things getting a lot more tight than in the previous week, and jockeying for position before the final push is intense.


At the end of Week Eight we find our leader remains Matthew R., but the extended lead he had at the end of Week Seven has diminished somewhat, given his portfolio softened a bit over the week, while others gained by a slight amount. Following eight weeks Matthew R. is up about 48%, but second and third place are not far behind.


Speaking of 2nd place, Alexandra F. has the distinction of holding that honour at the end of Week Eight, as her portfolio gained a slight amount, and has now returned almost 28% since the start of the contest. Her portfolio gained some distance from the previous week's third place portfolio, which has been replaced by Volodymyr V., who himself is no stranger to the top of the leader board as his portfolio was the dominating force in the first half of this contest, leading up to the trade deadline. So far, his portfolio has returned 24.8% - a very respectable return for such a short contest.


Finally, we give honourable mention to George F., whose portfolio delivered a whopping 33% return on the week, a tremendous showing.
