A Brock student business club is banking on a big return for charity through a virtual stock-market challenge.<\/p>\n
The Brock Finance and Investment Group<\/a> (BFIG) will be hosting its second annual Investment Challenge for Charity, an online trading competition to benefit needy children in Niagara. It runs from Feb. 28 to April 8.<\/p>\n The competition\u2019s purpose is twofold, club president Eric Hubacheck said.<\/p>\n “We aim to provide the opportunity for individuals to learn how to properly invest their money while spurring a fun and friendly competition that preserves the underlying integrity of our mission \u2013 helping children in the Niagara community,” he said.<\/p>\n This is an online, real world stock market simulation where students, professors and industry professionals from across Canada demonstrate their investing abilities through six weeks of active investing.<\/p>\n In exchange for $20, each participant will be given $100,000 fantasy money to invest in the stock market as they see fit.<\/p>\n There will be six weekly prizes for largest portfolio value growth. There will be five grand cash prizes for the top five finishers as of April 8 at 4 p.m. for overall portfolio value. These prize amounts will be determined on the eve of the competition.<\/p>\n Sixty per cent of the proceeds will be donated to BFIG\u2019s Children’s Fund with the Niagara Community Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n How to register:<\/p>\n For more information, visit BFIG’s Facebook page<\/a> or its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Brock student business club is banking on a big return for charity through a virtual stock-market challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3327,16],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8354"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8370,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions\/8370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
