Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students will vie for the title of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s top student investor this winter, while at the same time raising money for a good cause.

The Capitalize for Kids Student Challenge will feature more than a thousand students from 30 different universities across Canada going head to head in a portfolio management competition. There is no cost to register, but to be eligible for prizes and professional benefits such as mentorship, participants must fundraise at least $100 to support cutting-edge research and programs at the Centre for Brain and Mental Health at SickKids Hospital in Toronto.

Joshua Wine, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�17, Jack Hayward, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�17, and Lauren Wong, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�17 카지노 게임 컬렉션� executive members of 카지노 게임 컬렉션� are encouraging Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students from all academic programs to participate in the competition.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Nearly everyone I talk to has a friend or family member or knows someone who experienced a brain or mental health issue when they were young,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Wine. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The Student Challenge gives students the chance to support a worthy cause as they develop the skills and experience necessary for an investment career after graduation.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

From Jan. 16-April 16, students will select and manage an investment portfolio. Participants must submit a 500-word explanation of their investment thesis. Final ranking is determined by the performance of the portfolio and a juried evaluation of the provided rationale.

Capital for a cause

The Student Investor Challenge is hosted by Capitalize for Kids Foundation, which was established by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumni Jeff Gallant, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�11, and Kyle MacDonald, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�11, in 2014. Justin Scaini, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�13, Associate Director, Capitalize for Kids, says the organization launched the student challenge in order to engage future investment leaders who want to make a difference.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Mental health is the number one health issue facing young people,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Scaini, who notes that young people between the ages of 15 and 24 experience mental illness and/or substance-use disorders more than any other age group. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�To tackle this immense challenge, Capitalize for Kids supports projects focused on depression and brain injuries, which are among the most prevalent issues experienced by children and youth.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Mr. Scaini developed a passion for supporting youth mental health in his second year at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. He became involved in Jack.org, which was founded by Eric Windeler and Sandra Hanington after their son died by suicide in March 2010. After acting in a Jack.org educational video, Mr. Scaini played a leading role in organizing the Jack Summit (formerly Unleash the Noise), a national student mental health innovation summit held each year in Toronto.

After working with Accenture as a management consultant after graduation, Mr. Scaini jumped at the chance to join Capitalize for Kids, where he could combine his passion for improving youth mental health with his professional interests.

Investing in financial literacy

Mr. Scaini says the investment challenge also offers educational value for university students across all disciplines.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�With the challenge, we wanted to enhance financial literacy of young people. We believe the competition is an engaging way to teach students about investing and portfolio management,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Mr. Wine, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s student organizing the competition on campus, agrees the competition has the potential to make the stock market less intimidating for students.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We are at the point in our lives where we will be earning a salary soon, so it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a good time to learn more about the stock market and gain a greater awareness of investment opportunities,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

The deadline to sign up for the competition is Jan. 15. Visit the for more information.
