The annual competition is run by financial education body the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) and encourages students to learn about the economy and how the stock market works.
More than 33,500 students took part this year and the winning team was a group of four year 13 students – Harry, James, Alex and James – from Tadcaster Grammar School, an 11 to 18 mixed comprehensive based in North Yorkshire.
The competition challenges teams to invest two virtual portfolios of £100,000 over a four-month period in a virtual trading game which replicates the real market.
In this first stage, the Tadcaster team returned an incredible £119,734 in their portfolio, significantly outperforming the markets.
