The Rotman European Trading Competition (RETC)
@ LUISS Guido Carli University of Rome
is predominantly structured around the RIT Market Simulator (RIT) platform
that creates a simulated electronic market where participants trade with one another.
The competition cases,
designed by the BMO Financial Group Finance Research and Trading Lab RIT development team,
test the participants’ ability to model risks and opportunities and make effective real-time decisions
when confronted with a range of market scenarios.
RETC is an invitational event
that allows teams from schools across Europe to participate in a simulated market.
Its structure is similar to the very successful Rotman International Trading Competition (RITC),
held annually in Toronto, where schools from around the world meet and compete in simulated markets.
The primary goal of the competition is to give students
the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge to actual markets.
Win or lose, we hope that the skills, learning-by-doing experience
and relationships that you develop at RETC will help you reach your future career and personal aspirations.
