The Investment Strategies Program (ISP) is a learning opportunity for Grade 8-12 students to explore the ways in which people save and invest for their future. The program includes interactive lessons and culminates in an online stock market simulation, called Invest JA, where students manage their own simulated stock portfolio. The simulation uses live market data from North American stock markets and is an engaging opportunity for students to apply the investing principles taught in the program.
The Investment Strategies Program is one of a series of programs offered by Junior Achievement of BC.
