The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, experiential investment challenge designed for high school students from grades 9 to 12, offering them a unique opportunity to learn about investing while building essential skills. Participants work in teams of four to seven, with a teacher acting as their advisor. The competition involves using an online stock market simulator, allowing students to engage in strategy-building, teamwork, risk management, diversification, and company and industry analysis. The curriculum is structured to introduce students to basic investment concepts, focusing specifically on stocks, which are the only type of investment allowed in the competition portfolios. It includes a range of resources such as lesson plans for teachers and advisors to guide the student teams, although the use of these materials is not mandatory. Key skills covered include analytical skills, teamwork, communication, and making informed investment decisions. The competition is delivered online, enabling students from around the world to participate in a simulated stock market environment. This accessibility supports a diverse range of learners, from novices to those with more advanced knowledge. Teams are required to have an advisor who is a teacher or educator from their high school, and homeschooled students can participate as long as they meet specific criteria. The competition provides a valuable learning experience without the need for paid advisors, and it emphasizes learning through engagement with real-world financial scenarios.
