Investment Competition?
For the undergrad prospects out there interested in a career in trading or hedge funds, have any of you ever done any simulated investment competitions?
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

CFA Institute Research Challenge is a great one. Quinnipac GAME forum is another good choice. Duff & Phelps supposedly has a great competition but I’ve never competed.
Thanks for the input. I’ll look into these. A friend sent me a link for globalinvestorchallenge.com. Idk seems not too verified but what do you think? Worth competing?
Looks legit. I’ve heard people talk about it quite a bit. Would say go for it
Thanks for the response! I think I’m gonna go for it I have some interesting strategies I’m excited to try out. Just out of curiosity, where/from what kind of people did you hear about it? Obviously not asking for specific details, but just curious about more general things.
I’m about to graduate, so mostly people at my undergrad deciding if our investments team should participate
Great question. Is there actually a post anywhere that lists all of the possible 2021 Trading Competitions for College Students? I see the Summer 2021 for GIC. There was one on StockTrak too.
