Junior Trader offers undergraduates and Y12–13 students access to a real time stock picking experience in a team environment. It is addictive, competitive, and even approved as a DofE Skill.

Junior Trader offers schools, universities and financial institutions a structured approach to financial education, a field lacking from the curriculum.

Since 2008, Junior Trader has helped many alumni gain a valuable edge when applying for university places, internships, and careers, even beyond the world of finance. It is a highly regarded experience to feature on personal statements, CVs, and in interviews.

Session 1: The programme kicks off with a fast-paced introduction to graduate roles in the City, followed by a simulation of equities research and trading. Students form teams and compete in a stock-picking challenge.

Session 2: A deeper dive into “What Moves a Share Price” builds participants’ analytical skills, helping them construct a balanced portfolio of retail investments informed by real-world economic conditions.

Final Task: Each team submits a written report explaining their investment choices. Completion of this task earns students a Certificate of Attendance (and the DofE Skill recognition if applicable).
