The Challenge was introduced into SAIF's curriculum by Professor Nan Li, Term Associate Professor at SAIF and Vice Director of SJTU's Research Institute of Security and Finance. As Professor Li explains, the competition is organized by ETF Global® and stockgoats.com, a live simulation trading platform, and gives students hands-on experience in wealth management careers. Through practical application, participants refine skills in asset allocation while confronting the difficulties of real-world investing.
