The Year is 2028. The internet has vanished overnight. McDonald's now sells cricket nuggets. And Tyla just bought the moon. In this wild new reality, fortunes will rise and fall. Where would YOU put your money to get the best returns?
Welcome to the Top Investor Challenge: Schools Edition, where we’ll throw you into imaginary scenarios only slightly less whacky than this one.
The Top Investor Challenge gives you and your classmates a chance to think like real investors and build money-making skills that will last a lifetime. Enter as a team of two to five learners, with no limit on the number of teams that may enter per school.
The Top Investor Challenge is an exciting investment simulation game where high school teams compete to build the best-performing investment portfolio. Students will analyse future scenarios, make strategic investment decisions, and aim to achieve the highest returns.
The Top Investor Challenge: Schools Edition kicks off on 12 May 2025. On that day, you will receive an email with a link to the game portal, along with step-by-step instructions on how to play. Once you log in, you and your team can start exploring the game and making investment decisions. The sooner you begin, the more time you’ll have to refine your strategy before submitting your final results.
Any high school learner in South Africa is welcome to enter the competition. Participants are encouraged to form a team, with each team consisting of two to five learners. There is no limit on the number of teams a school may enter.
The winning team earns R50 000 in cash for their school and R50 000 in Coronation Unit Trust vouchers, shared equally among team members.
