UBS Mock Trading Game

Are you passionate about financial markets? Does a career in sales, trading or research at one of the world’s leading Equities houses interest you ?

The UBS Mock Trading Game is an interactive, team-based trading simulation which offers students an opportunity to experience building and managing their own stocks.

On game day, UBS will present a brief introduction to basic concepts and terminology and students will compete in teams to buy and sell options and forwards – with the aim of amassing the most valuable portfolio by the end of the game.

Teams will be joined by UBS traders and so this is a unique opportunity to learn about the stock markets from some of the best in the industry.
