Wharton Global High School Investment Competition

Free investment challenge from the Wharton Global Youth Program for students in grades 9–12. Teams of four to six, guided by an advisor, research companies, develop a long-term investment strategy, and manage a simulated portfolio with virtual money. Judging emphasizes strategy, research, and communication rather than portfolio returns. Homeschooled students may participate under the competition’s eligibility and advisor rules. Registration for the 2026–27 competition is closed; check the official site for future dates.
