The employees of UBS Financial Services in Lincoln, Nebraska, are dedicated to serving their clients as well as our local community. This fall, our office was the title sponsor for the Junior Achievement event, the “Stock Market Challenge.” Dozens of entrepreneurial high-school students gathered at UNL’s Innovation Campus for an afternoon competition and evening ceremony. The students formed teams and simulated a quarter in the stock market, trading a portfolio to try and achieve maximum return. This event is seen as the culmination of their efforts in Junior Achievement, which starts for most of them in kindergarten. UBS is proud to be associated with Junior Achievement.
