The Young Investors Competition is back for a second time, and offers high school students the opportunity to develop theoretical financial and practical investment skills. Founded by Dubai International Academy student Dhruv Meisheri, it brought in over 1,200 participants from 27 countries in its previous edition.

This is now the largest investment competition in Asia and the second largest in the world.

To enter the competition which will run from March 30 to April 16, individuals need to form a team of two to four participants. Participating teams will be required to develop an investment strategy for fictional clients while having access to a range of resources. This is to help them develop their strategies and improve their skills and knowledge of the financial industry.

The top 10 teams will present their ideas to a judging

Participants do not need any prior financial or business knowledge to join the competition, only a passion for learning. Hale Education Group will be serving as the exclusive sponsor of the event, which is free for all students interested in participating.
