Mission

Real finance experience.
Free for every student.

International Finance Challenge was created to close the gap between classroom finance education and the real world. High school students everywhere — regardless of school, background, or resources — deserve access to the kind of competitive, practical experience that builds genuine finance skills.

Through monthly competitions — stock pitches, economics quizzes, case competitions — we give students a structured way to apply what they learn, get feedback from industry professionals, and build a track record before university.

Our competitions are modeled after real-world processes: equity research, consulting case work, economics analysis. The skills you build here are the same ones that matter at KWHS, IEO, and eventually in your career.

What we believe

Our values

Practical over theoretical

Every competition is based on real companies, real data, and problems that matter in the real world.

Free, always

No fees, no subscriptions, no catch. Every high school student deserves access to this kind of challenge.

Pan-Asian focus

We center Japanese and Asian markets — TSE-listed companies, regional economics, and Asia-focused cases.

Rigor over prestige

We judge on analysis quality and original thinking, not on which school you attend.
