The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, experiential challenge that allows you to explore investing. You and your team of four to seven members, under the guidance of a teacher serving as your advisor, will explore the intricacies of the financial markets using an online stock market simulator. This competition will allow you to make real-time investment decisions based on current market scenarios and forecasted events. During the competition, your team will engage deeply in strategy-building, learning how to communicate effectively, assess risk, and apply the principles of diversification. You'll also conduct detailed company and industry analyses, which will help you understand the broader economic factors affecting stock performance. Participating in this competition not only boosts your practical financial skills but also enhances your ability to work collaboratively in a high-stakes environment, preparing you for the business world.
