Financial Planning firm Equilibrium Asset Management has developed a fantasy investment league at a girls school to prove the City is not just for men.
The Cheshire-based team has joined with Alderley Edge School for Girls to demonstrate the rules of investing to pupils.
Year 11 and sixth form pupils who are studying business and economics will learn how to manage risk, how shares and funds work and are then given £300 to invest in a portfolio of funds.
They will then have to manage this investment over four months and the winner will be the pupil to make the most profit across their portfolio.
Equilibrium will donate £250 and any profits made by the pupils to the school through its charitable foundation.

Mike Deverell, investment manager at Equilibrium, said: "In the past the investment industry has been male-orientated but this is changing. More and more females are showing what savvy investors they can be. We wanted to create a fun way to teach the pupils the skills they need to become an investor.
"The students will learn about how the stock market works and by being able to make changes to their investments they will be encouraged to take an interest in the economy as a whole. Maybe we'll uncover the next Karren Brady."
Headmistress Susan Goff said: "We are always looking for new initiatives to support girls with their learning and I know they are excited to be part of this project. There is no doubt that these young women have the drive and enthusiasm to succeed in the industry."
