Investment banking, a well-established industry, is being completely changed because simulations are more effectively identifying talent than reading a resume.

The simulation is built by a company called EquitySim. Their simulation specializes in helping finance students develop the skills needed to succeed.

Students are given a portfolio of varying size, dependent on the amount their professor decides, which they can invest how they wish. The areas to invest in are numerous including ETFs, Stocks, bonds, etc.

The performance of their investments is reflected in relation to the real world market. Real world data is both pricey and uncommon, which makes this simulation even more valuable.

The simulation tracts their risk management, adaptability, engagement and thought process while allowing them to learn immersively. Through AI these skills are measured and tracked to see how quickly they develop.

This may seem overwhelming but the interface of the simulation is very user-friendly. In fact, it was designed to be similar to Facebook.

This software is web-based and is accessible anywhere you have a wifi connection.

If the future is accessible high-quality education, the future is here.
