The Fall 2020 InvestWrite competition challenged students to write an essay about how they have adapted to change at some point in their lives, how a publicly-traded company has adapted to change, and how that company’s stock could be combined with other stocks, bonds, or mutual funds to create a successful long-term portfolio.

Congratulations to everyone who participated and to our InvestWrite winning students and teachers!
