The Game

While you teach your students about investing and the Sharemarket, they can put into practice what they are learning by participating in the Sharemarket Game. Students receive a virtual $50,000 they can invest over a 10 week period, in over 300 companies listed on the ASX. The prices students buy and sell at are the same prices as they would get in the live market so this is as close to real life share trading as you can get. The Game now also provides your students with exposure to 55 ETFs and 5 LICs to diversify their portfolio.

 By participating in the Game your students will:

• Develop their knowledge of the sharemarket,
• learn how to research companies,
• discover the importance of wise investment decisions,
• gain a greater knowledge of economic and world events, and
• begin to learn more about investing which is beneficial for their future.

The Game can be part of a school subject or an extra-curricular activity offered to students. It is free to register and as a bonus students can win cash prizes.

• Students compete either individually or in a group of 2 to 4 students.
• Students do research and decide which companies they will invest in.
• They buy and sell shares in any of the nominated ASX listed companies.
• Orders to buy or sell shares can be placed at any time. Orders will be executed when the market is open.
• Students can monitor shares via their Game portfolio.

Important Game rules your students need to be aware of

• Participants must purchase shares in at least four different companies over the Game period.
• Once purchased, a security must be held for a minimum of one full trading day before it may be sold.
• A participant cannot place an order for shares in one particular company which would result in the value of the participant's total holding in that company comprising 25% or more of the participant's total portfolio value (diversification rule).
• Brokerage will be charged against the trade value on each purchase or sale of stock in the Game at the rate of AUD$15.00 for each trade for orders valued up to and including AUD$15,000.00. For each trade over AUD$15,000.00, brokerage at the rate of 0.1% of the trade value will be charged.
