JSE Investment Challenge
The JSE Investment Challenge is a focused and far-reaching educational programme aimed at introducing South African students to the workings of a securities market and its role in wealth generation as well as creation of employment opportunities while growing the country’s economy.
The Challenge enables students to become aware of the fundamentals of share investment strategies, and encourages a culture of saving as well as making learner’s conscious of everyone’s contribution in the functioning of our economy. Latently, the game also imparts research skills, team work as well as helping students to identify future career opportunities for themselves in the share investment industry. Participating teams test their share trading prowess through an ongoing simulated ‘ghost trading’ programme. Their performance is tracked and measured in a competition against other teams – not necessarily from the same institution, but from schools countrywide.
The competition officially begins in March and runs through until the end of September. The teams, however meet in February to determine short, medium and long term goals and to outline their investment strategy.

Meetings are held every Thursday from 14h30 to 15h30.
Convenor: Mrs B. Stedman
