Bahrain Bourse kicks-off TradeQuest Challenge
MANAMA, October 14, 2015
Bahrain Bourse (BHB) officially announced the kick-off of the TradeQuest Challenge for the school year 2015-2016 for the 19th consecutive year.
The kick-off meeting was held at Bahrain Bourse’s premises, where all participating students and teams’ school advisors attended the event along with the investment advisors who will monitor and coach the teams during the programme, said a statement.
TradeQuest is a simulated business-education partnership programme that focuses on investment trading in world financial markets, which operated for the first time in the kingdom in 1996 in co-operation with financial institutions and educational parties.
The programme aims at stimulating relevant learning through realistic experience by learning the rules and regulations implemented in financial markets, analysing and selecting shares, and managing a portfolio of investment instruments listed at New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Bahrain Bourse.
TradeQuest consists of three trading periods where schools are required to make a presentation at the end of each trading period in front of the Investment Review Committee to outline their performance, objectives, and strategies.
The 2015/2016 TradeQuest programme includes 10 school teams, of which seven are private schools and three of them are public schools. - TradeArabia News Service
