Youth Sustainable Investment Challenge (YSIC)

About the competition

Registration for Step 1 closes on June 29. However, participants may still register until July 29, before the midterm, after the first round of trading has concluded.
YSIC is a global, ESG-focused portfolio management competition. It serves as an excellent profile-building activity, bridging advanced financial literacy with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Program Highlights for Your School:
Practical Application: Students manage a virtual $1,000,000 portfolio using professional-grade trading simulation tools.
Global Benchmarking: Your students will collaborate and compete alongside peers from over 12 countries.
Industry Exposure: Global finalists present their investment cases live to an elite panel of Wall Street industry professionals.
Flexible Integration: The competition is completely virtual, making it easy to integrate into existing student networks, business clubs, or environmental groups.
The first virtual trading round begins on June 29, 2026. Complete competition rules, timelines, and resources are available on our official YEFA YSIC Platform.
