S4 Business pupils, working in teams of 4, have been taking part in the Student Investor Challenge organised by the London Institute of Banking and Finance. The competition involves the teams investing £100,000 of virtual money on the London Stock exchange. Pupils have been keeping track of the Stock Market since October 2017 and trying to keep their investment portfolios healthy. This requires following the ups and downs of the market and judging when to buy and sell shares in order to make a profit.

The competition finished on 26 January 2018. Our highest finishing team, The Stock Holderz, ranked a very creditable 2330 out of 4851 teams throughout the UK. Very well done to all participants.

Winning team – Katie Currie, Stuart Ferguson, James Humprey and Amiee Mulholland:
