  2. Select Teams Each team is an Investment Fund Management company, investing money in stocks. The fewer the teams the better, but teams should not be too large to make interaction difficult. Once teams are selected, they should be grouped together.

  3. Appoint CEOs Each team chooses a CEO. The CEO is responsible for gathering feedback from his/her team and making the final decisions. Players on each team may volunteer to be CEO. Volunteers must pitch their teams as to why they should be selected. A vote is taken to determine the winner.

  4. Choose Company Names Each team chooses a name for their Fund Management Company.

  5. Game Rules • Each Company starts with $100,000, which can be invested in any combination of stocks. • Each Company makes 1 decision per turn: Buy, Sell, or Hold. Facilitator inputs the decision into GoVenture. • Once each Company has taken their turn, the simulation advances to the next week. • Companies continue taking turns until time runs out. • The Company with the highest Portfolio Value (or ROI) wins.
