On Thursday 2nd July 2026, Cycle 13 of the WizdomCRM Virtual Sustainable Stock Market AI Game officially ended, marking another successful chapter in one of the Caribbean's leading financial literacy and investment education programmes.
Delivered in partnership with the CARICOM Private Sector Organization (CPSO) and supported by key stakeholders including Paria Fuel Trading Company, NEL Enterprises Limited,the Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports and Social Services of the Turks & Caicos Islands and Sunshine snacks, the programme continues to provide students with practical investment knowledge, digital skills, and a deeper understanding of financial markets.
This cycle brought together students from Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados, Turks & Caicos Islands, and Suriname, creating a dynamic regional learning experience that challenged participants to analyze market trends, manage investment risk, build sustainable portfolios, and make informed financial decisions. More than a competition, the game serves as a platform for experiential learning, helping students develop skills that will support their future academic, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
One of the most significant achievements of Cycle 13 was the continued expansion of the WizdomCRM E-Classroom Initiative, which delivered technology-enabled learning opportunities to nine schools across the Turks & Caicos Islands, while also supporting schools in Trinidad & Tobago. The impact of these investments was reflected in the competition results themselves. Several schools that benefited from enhanced learning opportunities emerged among the strongest performers on the final leaderboard, demonstrating the value of combining financial literacy education with access to technology and innovative learning environments.

The final Caribbean leaderboard showcased exceptional performances from students across the region, with the Turks & Caicos Islands emerging as the leading territory. Schools such as TCIPS Comprehensive High School, Raymond Gardiner High School, Wesley Methodist School, and British West Indies Collegiate were consistently represented among the top-performing portfolios. Their strong showing highlighted not only the talent and dedication of their students but also the importance of creating educational environments that encourage critical thinking, strategic decision-making, and financial awareness.
Suriname also delivered an outstanding performance during Cycle 13. Students from Paulus earned multiple positions among the region's top portfolios, further demonstrating the country's growing engagement in financial literacy and investment education. Meanwhile, Queen's College Barbados distinguished itself among the highest-performing schools, reflecting the broad regional reach and impact of the programme.
The success of Cycle 13 was further strengthened by corporate and community partners who invested in student engagement throughout the competition. Sunshine Snacks Limited played an important role by providing hampers and rewards for students recognized on the Mid-Cycle Leaderboard, helping to celebrate achievement, encourage participation, and maintain excitement throughout the game.
