What is the contest's goal?

This contest aims to test your fund management skill to outperform the S&P 500 using the weighted return of the portfolio over three months. The person with the best return over three months wins.

IMPORTANT: Just so you know, this is only for learning, education, and fun, and none of the portfolios are investment advice.

How do you select the winners?

The winner is the portfolio with the highest weighted return at the end of the 3-month contest period.

How do you calculate contest portfolios' performance?

  • Each stock/ETF pick return: When you create a portfolio on Stock Card and add stocks or ETFs, it automatically calculates the return on your investment using the buy price and the current price. Portfolios are refreshed every 30 minutes to calculate each pick's return regularly.

  • Overall portfolio return: Stock Card also calculates the average return of all orders in each portfolio and shows the result on each portfolio page.

  • Stock/ETF weight in each portfolio: Note that the average return does not count the number of shares. The focus is on making your best investment decisions and not managing your portfolio. So the weight of each order in a portfolio does not impact the overall portfolio performance.

Who can participate?

  • Who: Anyone can join the contest as long as you are at least eighteen (18) years old at entry and you create a free account on stockcard.io.

  • No purchase rule: Remember that no purchase or VIP subscription is needed, and the contest is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

  • Social media follow: To qualify for contest participation, all contest participants must follow Stock Card's Twitter, YouTube channels, and our CEO's TikTok channel. Following these social media channels allows you to receive notifications and updates about the contest, winners, and live events.
