The Future of Finance
Ready to dive into the world of investing? Join our exciting 2-month stock market simulation and compete with your friends! No experience needed, just bring your curiosity and ambition!
Competition Overview
This 2-month long competition gives students the chance to step into the world of investing by building and managing their own stock portfolios. Using a stock market simulator, participants will have the freedom to explore and experiment at their own pace, just like real investors.
Working in teams of 3–4, students will collaborate to research companies, make strategic investment decisions, and design a portfolio that reflects their collective vision. At the end of the competition, teams will present and pitch their portfolio to a panel of expert judges, who will not only evaluate their work but also challenge them with follow-up questions and provide constructive feedback to strengthen their understanding.
Through this experience, participants will gain firsthand exposure to the dynamics of the stock market and a practical insight into how financial decision-making works. They’ll learn essential skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving, all while receiving guidance and mentorship from the organizing team and judges. By the end, students won’t just walk away with knowledge, but with a real sense of confidence in navigating the exciting world of investing.
