Congratulations to the members of The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL)’s Young Investors Society (YIS) who recently competed in the 2021 Malaysia Stock Pitch Competition!

ISKL’s YIS team, mainly from the Class of 2022 and 2024, consisted of Allen Z. and Keith W., who took first place with Enviva Partners, a bio-renewables company, winning a pair of Apple Airpods. E-Therng L. and Christian V. won second place pitching Sea Ltd., the parent company of Shopee.com. They also took second place in the Asia Regional Finals, which was held a week later. In addition, Erica H. and James Y. took third place with Wuxi Biologics, a vaccine manufacturer in China.  

YIS is an international club established to prepare the next generation of outstanding investors. Since its inception in 2017, the ISKL YIS chapter has taught countless HS students about the basics of investing and the stock market via the club’s weekly meetings paving the way towards gaining financial literacy for a lifetime!

The stock competition concludes the investment skills gained during the year by providing HS students hands-on mentoring in financial analysis to create a “best stock idea” and analyze a publicly traded company.
