Launched this spring by the Department of Finance at UNLV Lee Business School, the inaugural President’s Investment Challenge brought together 87 teams and 227 students from across disciplines—public health, engineering, marketing, hospitality, and more—to test real-time investment strategies in a fast-paced, high-stakes competition.

After 8 weeks of market volatility, live pitches, and 98 trades, the top 3 teams emerged:

🥇 1st Place – STheory
Sehaj Singh (B.S. Finance) & Satwinder Singh (MBA)

🥈 2nd Place – Rebel Traders
Jack Docev, Sumner Griffin, Ethan Phui, Tyler Song, Nessa Yip (B.S. Finance/Marketing)

🥉 3rd Place – Arrowhead Investing
Justin Norfleet (MBA/M.S.E.) & Eric Johnson (MBA)

These students demonstrated exceptional critical thinking, collaboration, and financial acumen. Congratulations to all teams who participated in this milestone event!
