The 13th Road to Fund Manager Mock Investment Competition is open to university (including graduate) students and recent graduates who are seeking to enter the capital markets. For graduates, participants who completed their undergraduate degrees in 2017 or later are eligible. Contestants will engage in mock investment using 1 billion won of virtual assets, based on real market data. Rankings are not determined solely by the highest return rates. Participants must comply with competition operation guidelines, such as a maximum weighting per stock (no more than 15% per single stock), industry sector allocation limits, and restrictions on certain investment items.

Those who rank in the top 5 for returns will receive a total of 20 million won in prize money. Beyond returns, portfolio diversification and volatility management are also considered, and participants who earn an A+ rating for their investment management skills will be offered internship opportunities with the possibility of conversion to a full-time position. The internship lasts for 12 weeks, approximately three months.

During the internship period, Timefolio Asset Management provides fundamental training aimed at growing into a fully credentialed fund manager. Interns learn portfolio construction and how to utilize asset management systems, as well as participate in seminars with analysts from securities firms. Since the internship began in 2024, about 30 participants have completed the program through the fifth cohort.

Timefolio has directly operated the 'Road to Fund Manager Mock Investment Competition' since 2023. The competition is held once each quarter, for a total of four times a year. Many participants in the contest and internship program go on to secure positions at asset management firms or securities companies. About 2,000 contestants participate in each competition, and the atmosphere is highly enthusiastic.
