About the Challenge
Founded by Charles Frédette, Ryan Dollinger and Philip Becker, the Young Investors Challenge is a non-profit organization which provides a unique experience to all teenagers regardless of their investing experience.
The Trading Challenge
A virtual investment competition that begins in March. Using our platform, each participant will receive $100,000 to invest in a variety of stocks and ETFs, and rankings will be based on portfolio value.
“The Young Investors Challenge is a one-of-a-kind learning experience that I recommend to all teenagers that are interested in stocks!”
The Stock Pitch Challenge
After carefully reading the case study, participants will submit a stock report to our judges. The selected finalists will be invited to present their stock pitch to our judges at our finale.
Creating a substantial impact.
Through community initiatives, wide-reaching competitions and student opportunities, our organization focuses on making an impact within our community.
