About

Since 2021, we having been organizing student-led investment competitions for homeschoolers in our community to provide an inclusive and enriching educational experience.  Homeschooled students often lack access to conventional financial education resources. By organizing this competition, we aim to bridge this gap and offer our team members a chance to develop essential financial literacy and investment skills in a supportive environment. This initiative encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and financial responsibility, preparing homeschooled students for their financial futures. It also promotes a sense of community and learning among homeschoolers, fostering connections and shared knowledge. Ultimately, our goal is to empower these students with the tools they need to navigate the complex world of finance confidently.

Benefits:

1. Real-World Experience: Student-led investment competition teams provide hands-on, practical experience in the dynamic realm of finance and investment. 
2. Portfolio Management Skills: Team members gain expertise in portfolio management, asset allocation, and risk assessment. 
3. Research and Analysis: Participants acquire proficiency in conducting thorough research and analysis of financial markets, individual securities, bonds, and various investment instruments.
4. Networking Opportunities: Joining such a team often facilitates networking with peers, alumni, and industry professionals.
