Seasoned stock professionals and first-time investors alike are being invited to take part in a nine-month virtual trading game with a real cash prize of $1m up for grabs.
InvestCloud, a securities technology company, this week launched PlayMyMillions, an interactive investment game that allows participants to trade on 35 of the world’s stock exchanges.
Each player will be given a virtual cash pile of $1m to invest in a portfolio of their choosing using real market data. The best-performing portfolios will be ranked and rewarded with weekly and monthly prizes over the nine months leading up to the jackpot $1m.
The game assesses the portfolios by reference to the risk-adjusted rate of return.
“Best scores win – no matter your background or ‘real world’ expertise,” according to InvestCloud.
