According to LS Securities on August 31, CME Group is the world's largest derivatives exchange based in the United States and hosts a global virtual investment competition for university (and graduate) students every year. Last year, 616 teams from 174 universities across 25 countries participated in the event.

This training program was designed to enhance understanding of overseas derivatives markets and to strengthen the practical investment skills of university students who wish to participate in the global virtual investment competition.

LS Securities selected students from 31 domestic universities who wished to participate in the competition and provided training on overseas derivatives from July 1 to July 29. Experts from each field, including overseas derivatives, global macroeconomics, risk management, and commodity markets, were invited as instructors to provide systematic and in-depth theoretical education. Afterwards, through about two weeks of simulated investment exercises, participants were able to apply what they had learned and gain hands-on trading experience. A total of 4 million won in prize money was awarded to those who achieved outstanding results in the program.

Lee Hyunmin, Head of Multi-Asset Solutions at LS Securities, commented, "This training program was significant not only as an education on overseas derivatives, but also as an active networking and exchange platform for students preparing for careers in finance. We will continue to strive to create various opportunities to strengthen the global financial competitiveness of domestic university students in the future."
