The Competition
Our mission is to improve diversity and access to financial services by stimulating investment analysis and thought in young adults.
The series starts with a fast paced tour of the roles available to graduates in the city, and simulates equities trading in the form of a stock picking competition. A second more detailed lecture on “what moves a share price” completes students teams’ basic knowledge enabling teams to choose a balanced portfolio of investments in retail shares taking account of the prevailing economic environment.
To finish, a short written report explaining their choice of investments is then required for each participant to receive a vital Certificate of Attendance – demonstrating an awareness of and exposure to financial services to prospective employers or educators.
