April is Financial Literacy Month, and there’s no better time to dive into the world of investing with the Summer Stock Market Game (SMG) – an exciting, hands-on learning experience for students, teachers, parents, and mentors. No prior experience? No problem. SMG makes learning about the stock market and personal finance fun and accessible for everyone.
From June 30-August 8, participants get to manage a virtual portfolio and invest in real stocks, bonds, and mutual funds listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq. Along the way, you’ll build a practical understanding of how the market works and why smart financial decisions matter – all while enjoying a little friendly competition. The top three student portfolios that meet all Summer SMG Competition eligibility requirements and rules at the end of the game session will be eligible for prizes.
