The Student Investor Challenge is a competition run by the London Institute of Banking and Finance.
Teams of 4 students are required to invest “virtual” money on the Stock Exchange to see which team can make the biggest profit on their portfolios.
The competition started on 23rd October 2017 with 800 teams taking part. Our school team has currently made the semi final comprising 500 teams and is busy trading to try and make the top ten teams who then go onto the grand final with a main price of an all expenses paid trip to New York. Trading closes on Friday 16th March, with the team currently placed around 20th.
We are very proud of team Badger 9 for doing so well in this competition, especially as they are competing against students older than themselves including sixth formers.
