The initiative, which commenced on 26^th September with an Investment Education Webinar, enables students to experience securities market activity firsthand. Participants have the opportunity to test their knowledge while gaining useful investing insights and skills.

The competition is a collaborative effort of the ECSE, the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission and licensed ECSE member broker-dealers and aims to excite and inspire young people to learn more about investing and to create a pathway for young investors to become active market participants in the future.
