About the Simulation

Are you curious to know how people make money by investing in stock markets? How do portfolio managers make investment strategy decisions? When it comes to investing, trying to weigh risk and return can seem like throwing darts blindfolded. With so many investment opportunities out there in the market from equity stocks to cryptocurrencies, each investment manager does their homework before making any decisions on behalf of their client. And thus, there’s a huge need to diversify your investments as rightly argued by Warren Buffet - “Don’t put all eggs in one basket”. It’s now time for you to experience what entails to be a good investor or an investment manager and whether it is the right career fit for you! Your core responsibilities would include handling all activities associated with the management of the client portfolios, from day – to – day buying and selling of securities to portfolio monitoring, transaction settlement, performance measurement, and regulatory and client reporting.
