UNAIR NEWS – Universitas Airlangga students consistently make achievements. This time, Muchammad Fadli Ar Rosid, Roswinda Ahnia Karim, and Cakrawala Ilmi from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) have won Third Place in the Smart Investment Competition (KCI).

Fadli told UNAIR NEWS on October 13, 2022, that the group has a strong interest in investments and the capital market. It encourages them to build a team, join the competition, and win third place.

“KCI is more than just an intellectual competition. The team was given evaluation and guidance on managing investment assets, calculating, and making decisions,” he said.

KCI is a competition held by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is collaborating with JTV to grow the interest in investment in East Java. In the preliminary round, participants are directed to choose stocks accompanied by strong reasons.

“In the semi-finals, we prepared stock valuation materials and presented them to the juries. Approximately 35 teams from various universities across East Java participated in this stage,” Fadli added.

The teamwork and skills allow them to go for the final round. During the event, which aired on JTV, the finalists were asked to present a case study on financial planning and answer the panelists’ questions, one of whom is the Vice Governor of East Java, Emil Dardak.

Fadli believed that the achievement was a collective effort to be grateful for. His strong interest in the capital market eventually make him a winner. He believed that the investment is something worth working on. It is an instrument to manage financial wealth for future returns.

“Investment can be made in many places, such as the capital market, property, business, and many more. For the competition, we chose to invest in the capital market,” said the Accounting student.

Fadli hoped that their baby steps would inspire the students and the community to invest. He aspired to provide the basics of competing, especially for the Capital Market Study Group (KSPM).

“The ability to manage finance is one of the skills needed for Gen Z. Besides, stick to the 2L, legal and logic and 3P, paham (understand), punya (possess), and pantau (monitor).”
