Anyone managed to beat the FTSE 100 in this simulator?
Hello folks,
I stumbled across this quick interactive game today and thought some of you might find it interesting:
https://www.strategicwealthpartners.co.uk/can-you-beat-the-ftse-100
It’s a 10-year historical simulator where you try to time the market based on real news headlines from the past. It really drives home how hard it is to beat a simple buy-and-hold strategy when you let the headlines panic you into cashing out.
Spoiler: I tried it and failed miserably on my first go. 🤪
It got me thinking. are there any other good, UK-focused financial literacy games or simulators out there like this?
I'd love to find a few more to share with my daughter and our friends who are just getting into investing.
Ta muchly!
