Two of these finalist teams delivered their presentations over Skype.

Diana Drake, Managing Editor at Knowledge@Wharton High School, who was in India to attend the KWHS Investment Competition’s Regional Finale in New Delhi, said, “I was very impressed with the presentations by the students. The sincerity and dedication with which they have worked for this competition is evident in the brilliant presentations they delivered. You take away certain skill sets when you participate in our investment competition, such as teamwork, leadership, risk taking and communication. It’s rewarding to see that the teams seized this opportunity and developed many of these skills.”

The competition is a free, global, online investment simulation for high school students from Class 9 to Class 12. Each competing team of four to nine students must manage a portfolio of $100,000 in virtual cash using the OTIS online trading system, Wharton’s Online Trading and Investment Simulator. Ultimately, teams are judged on how well they develop and articulate a sound and unique investment strategy, not on the growth of their portfolios.

Hosted by Salwan Media Ventures, the annual One Globe Forum brings together global thought leaders to discuss how to build a 21st century knowledge economy in India and South Asia.
