Welcome Professor/Lecturer:
Pearson Education and Stock-Trak have partnered to bring your students the best in a European Portfolio Simulation!
This service is one of the most comprehensive investment simulations on the Internet and the easiest to implement
into any Finance, Economics, or Investments class.
HOW CAN PROFESSORS/LECTURERS BENEFIT?
This web site will give your students the opportunity of managing a virtual brokerage account funded with £ GBP, € EUR, or $ USD. Students will be able to apply what they are studying in class and reading about in their textbooks by trading the follow markets under your supervision:
- London Stock Exchange
- Deutsche Borse
- Euronext (Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris),
- Zurich Stock Exchange
- Spanish Stock Exchange
PLUS
- NYSE, NASDAQ & AMEX
- European and U.S. stock and index options
- European and U.S. futures
- European and U.S. bonds
Students can trade and have access to their accounts 24/7, and most importantly, see a class ranking which lists their name and total portfolio value each day after the markets close.
WHAT TEXTBOOKS DOES THIS COMPLEMENT?
Pearson sales reps will recommend the Stock-Trak Value Pack with many of the Pearson Finance or Economics textbooks that discuss the financial markets. In particular, your students will find great value with one of these textbooks:
- Levy & Post, Investments
- Hull, Options Futures and other Derivatives
- Arnold, Corporate Financial Management
- Pike & Neale, Corporate Finance and Investment
- Van Horne & Wachowicz, Fundamentals of Financial Management
- Buckley, Multinational Finance
HOW DO YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS REGISTER?
Professors adopting the Stock-Trak Value Pack will have to register their class by contacting their Pearson Sales representative. Since Stock-Trak is customized to each professor, the professor must speak with their representative to indicate the desired trading period start and end dates, the initial cash balance, the base currency and the minimum diversification requirement. Once the class is registered the professor will receive an email confirmation with their unique class code. Students will use this code along with their Stock-Trak Value Pack Certificate found in their textbooks to activate and redeem the pre-paid simulated account online. The trading period will last up to 16 weeks from the trading period start date.
