Year 10 student Eveline Furaha is the proud winner of the ECU School of Business and Law Investment Award. The competition invited students to invest a fictional $20,000 into Australian businesses of their choice. Every one of Eveline’s five choices managed to increase in value over the course of the competition. Her total profit was $2229.00, which was enough to narrowly win out over the second place student’s portfolio. The biggest winner Eveline picked was Afterpay, which increased by around 25% of its initial value, netting her a nice profit of $1260. Eveline also invested in companies from the retail and materials sectors. Her choice to diversify her investments has paid off as she will now be taking home the ECU School of Business and Law Investment Award and a fantastic prize.
