Rotating between the roles of Asset Manager, Trader and Market Maker, in this experiential simulation learners get to experience the three main roles in investment markets. An ideal simulation for learners new to financial markets, asset management, investment banking or global market roles.
A Simulation That Explores The Roles Of An Asset Manager…
Learners work in teams made of Asset Managers, Traders and Market Makers. The role of Asset Manager is to manage and oversee their client’s portfolio and make investment decisions. The investment strategy involves asset allocation, diversification and maximising portfolio return. The Asset Manager sends trade orders for a mix of asset classes such as equities, bonds and currencies for the Trader to execute.
…Trader…
On receiving client orders, the Traders then analyse the market news and select the most competitive bid/offer price from the market to trade with. Traders earn commission on successfully executing trades. The exchange lists all the quotes submitted by the various Market Makers in the simulation.
…And Market Maker…
The Market Makers main objective is to create liquidity in the market. The exchange lists all the quotes submitted by the various Market Makers in the simulation. As a Market Maker, learners track the market news, access the competition and periodically submit two-way quotes in the market. The Market Maker executes trades with Traders from other teams, aiming to capitalise on price movements and profit from market fluctuations.
