2012 IFS Student Investor Challenge Launch

A Level Accounting students at NULC are again being given the opportunity to participate in the Institute for Financial Services’ prestigious Student Investor Challenge competition.  

Working in teams, students invest a virtual £100,000 in shares and use their skill and judgement to trade their portfolios using real data supplied by Bloomberg and FTSE (just like real traders). 

Entrants are given extra tuition to learn about stock market theory so this is a great opportunity to learn something new and it also looks good on UCAS applications.  

In the past NULC students have reached the national finals (Top 8 out of more than 800 entries) so why not have a go.  You never know, you could win the top prize which is an all expenses paid trip to New York.
 

If you're interested in taking part contact Lecturer Richard Simpson richard.simpson@nulc.ac.uk, but be quick, the competition starts on the 5th November!
