Lehman, Associate Professor, Communications Specialist<\/p>\n<p>On October 28, 2022, a 越南直播 student team won second place in the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/events\/university-trading-challenge\/2022-trading-challenge.html\">CME Group University Trading Challenge.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The winning team included<strong> Gopal Karki<\/strong> (captain), <strong>Javkhlant-Od Batsaikhan<\/strong>, <strong>Adejoke Ifafesobi<\/strong>, and <strong>Nasirul Haque<\/strong>. \u201cThe competition allowed us to assess the skills and knowledge we learned at UB and proved what me and my teammates are capable of,\u201d said Karki. \u201cIt gave us a platform to use our knowledge from our academic journey in the real market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This global trading competition is sponsored by CME, the world\u2019s leading derivatives marketplace, and involves students from universities all over the world. This year, 491 teams from 208 schools representing 23 countries were registered, including those from elite institutions such as MIT, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, and NYU.<\/p>\n<p>The UB team was one of several from Professor <strong>Congsheng Wu<\/strong>\u2019s course on Financial Derivatives and Risk Management (FIN 545). All students in his class participated in the competition as part of the course requirements. \u201cI decided to incorporate the CME competition into the curriculum because it offers students a unique opportunity to learn and experience the excitement and decision-making of real-time trading of derivatives,\u201d said Professor Wu. \u201cIt is a perfect opportunity to combine theory with practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the semester, students learn how these derivatives work, how they can be used for speculation and risk management, and how their prices are determined. \u201cI am very proud of the winning team\u2019s success,\u201d said the Director of the Ernest C. Trefz School of Business, <strong>Timothy Raynor<\/strong>. \u201cEqually important is that all of Professor Wu\u2019s teams had a practical, real-life learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with experiencing the ins and outs of derivative trading, the finance students learned the importance of teamwork. \u201cFor the 29 days of the contest, we had each other\u2019s backs, writing reports and doing research,\u201d said Karki. \u201cWhenever you feel like you are losing money or hope, it\u2019s good to have a team to back you up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each team member received a cash prize of $1,500 and all but Haque were able to fly to Chicago on December 4 to attend the awards ceremony and Market Education Day. Karki, Batsaikhan, and Ifafesobi met the first-place team from Universidad Anahuac in Mexico as well as other participants and financial professionals from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great avenue for networking,\u201d said Ifafesobi. \u201cThe event bridged the gap between students and the top people in the industry.\u201d Originally from Nigeria, Ifafesobi plans to stay in the U.S. after graduating with a dual Finance and Analytics and Systems major. \u201cThe competition taught me that I can combine skills from both majors together to succeed,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a big industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the team members are scheduled to graduate in May 2023. After obtaining some expertise in the US financial markets, Karki wants to go back to Nepal and launch an investment company that will close the gap between finance and agriculture there. For now, though, he is enjoying the victory. \u201cThis was a fantastic chance to promote UB on a worldwide scale,\u201d said Karki. \u201cWe put our university\u2019s name out there with NYU and MIT and showed that UB is competitive with premier universities. It was an honor to put our university\u2019s name on the leaderboard for the entire month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-business\/\">Learning more about programs in the Ernest C.
