The competition aims to serve as an introduction to the UK stockmarket and broaden the interest of students in their business studies as well as providing an extra resource for teachers.

This year's competition will run for 6 months from 1st November 2018.  Once again each team of 4 students starts with a theoretical sum of £10,000 to play the UK stockmarket and the team with the highest value portfolio on the 30th April 2019 will be the winner.   Members of the winning team will receive £25 each and an HSBC goody bag and, in addition, the winning School will receive a cheque for £100.

A presentation lunch for the winning team will take place at the Wynnstay Hotel, Oswestry during the Summer Term.
