What do students think of the competition?
Here's a selection of what some students who have entered Shares4Schools say about the competition.
“The team is really pleased to have won the competition. We worked well as a team and managed to pick out successful companies despite investing in a difficult market. Shares4Schools has really opened our eyes to the world of investing and the decisions you might be faced with – the team and I definitely want to work in the finance industry after university.”
Ben, Reading School, Berkshire
“The competition was good fun and we found it really interesting to research lots of different companies. I particularly enjoyed the ‘live’ element of the competition as we were able to watch our shares react to the highs and lows of the market. The fact we were able to invest real money gives Shares4Schools the edge over fantasy trading competitions.”
Tom, Holgate School, Nottingham
"The competition was a really fun and interesting way to experience the stock market first hand. Trading on the stock exchange with real money makes the whole thing seem much more authentic, and makes victory all the more satisfying! This will certainly be an experience we will never forget."
Richard, Freman College, Hertfordshire
