MISSION STATEMENT:
SI Finance Club's purpose is to engage students in learning about basic investing and managing personal finances. We believe that students are not being properly prepared for real world money challenges. Therefore, our mission is to help students learn through an interactive stock market game and through guest speakers who have worked in finance.
GOALS:
1) Lead students to financial independence and stability for their futures
2) Teach students basic investing strategies using a stock market simulator
3) Expose students to different careers within finance through guest speakers
MEETING EXPECTATIONS:
We will have a meeting once a month during upper and lower lunch. These meetings will primarily focus on investing fundamentals and market news.
STOCK MARKET COMPETITION:
Throughout the year, we will host a virtual stock market competition. Each member will be given $1,000,000 US dollars to invest. We will be using an app called stockfuse to manage our portfolios. At the end of the year, the top 3 earners will win prizes of $100, $50, and $25, respectively. There will also be a December prize for the top 2 earners of $20 and $10. Players must use their real names to be eligible for prize money.
GUEST SPEAKERS
Every few months, Finance Club will host guest speakers from various companies and professions in the finance world. These meetings will take place during lunch and after school. All are welcome.
