ifs Student Investor Challenge

We send our huge congratulations to Marie, Maya, William and Helen who have won a place in the regional finals of the ifs Student Investor Challenge 2013! Their team, 'Will's Business Factory', performed very well in the first phase of the competition - there were over 9000 entrants and only a handful of schools have made it through to the regional final, which will take place in Bristol on Tuesday 12th March.

This national competition is designed for teams of four students and takes place in two phases. The first sees each team given a virtual £100,000 to 'invest' in stocks. The 20 teams from each region with the best-performing portfolios are then invited to attend the regional finals. Teams are given a series of questions and the top two teams from each region will be invited to the national final in late April. The grand prize is a trip to New York!

Thanks to Jane Cockerill and Jonathan Young who have been supporting the team as part of Personal Development.
