Rotman European Trading Competition (RETC)

The  Rotman European Trading Competition (RETC)

is an event built with the cooperation between

the LUISS Guido Carli University of Rome and the Rotman school of Management at the University of Toronto.

Modeled after the highly successful Rotman International Trading Competition (RITC),

the European variant illustrates both universities’ commitment to experiential learning

and preparing students for the competitive field of finance.

During the competition, students execute trades on the RIT Market Simulator (RIT), a proprietary stock market simulator.

Cases are designed to teach students about different asset-pricing and trading strategies employed in the real market.

Simulations are used to create a dynamic world where any possible sequence of events can happen.

It’s up to the students to devise a proper trading strategy

that considers these possibilities, execute a plan, and generate profits under those conditions.
