Grow alongside the stock market!

Students collaborate with like-minded peers as they create an investment portfolio with $100,000 of game money. Trades, gains and losses in their portfolio will be determined by the performance of the real stock market!

While playing the game, kids will gain insight into companies of interest, the variety of investment vehicles, the importance of diversification, investment objectives and risks, as well as critical resources available to aid in choosing their investments. The game is internationally competitive and includes prizes for those who build the most profitable portfolios and those who create the best essay reflecting their experience.
