The DFM Stock Game is the most popular educational initiative among school and university students in the UAE and beyond.
The Stock Game is an initiative from the Dubai Financial Market aimed at nurturing a new generation of investors and achieving a high level of awareness of financial services and investment. During the last few years, the competition has received a phenomenal response from various educational institutions attracting almost 10,000 participants from across 40 educational institutions.
During the course of The DFM Stock Game, students have the opportunity to virtually trade in securities listed on the Dubai Financial Market through the market website, following the live prices during trading hours. Each student receives a virtual amount of AED 1,000,000 and can use it to buy and sell shares and securities during the competition.
The DFM offers students the chance to trade in a real marketplace according to the corporate actions which take place during the competition, such as dividends, bonus shares and the closure of the register are implemented similarly to the real market. Winners are identified by the gains achieved during the competition.
The first winner receives a cash prize of AED 15,000, the second a cash amount of AED 10,000 and the third a cash amount of AED 5,000. A cash amount of AED 1,000 is also distributed to each student from the fourth to the fifteenth position, in addition to certificates of appreciation and trophies.
