About Us

The Global Investment Challenge (GIC) is proudly organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a globally recognized institution dedicated to advancing international financial cooperation, fostering responsible investment practices, and setting the highest standards in global finance and investment.

GIC was established to bring together market leaders, financial institutions, and experts from across the world, providing a platform for knowledge exchange, strategic development, and the establishment of best practices to promote sustainable financial growth and stability.
At the heart of GIC is a commitment to discovering and nurturing global financial talent while championing transparency, innovation, and ethical financial practices. This prestigious competition unites top financial analysts and retail investors from nine leading economies—United States, China, India, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Switzerland, and Canada—showcasing their expertise in macroeconomic analysis, portfolio management, and innovative investment strategies.

GIC is more than just a competition; it is a global stage for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development. By setting high standards in investment strategy, risk management, and sustainable financial practices, GIC underscores the importance of ethical and responsible finance in shaping the future of global investment markets.

As the organizing body, OECD ensures that GIC adheres to the highest international standards of transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Through rigorous evaluation criteria and independent oversight, we provide a level playing field where all participants can showcase their expertise and receive global recognition.

Additionally, GIC prioritizes financial education and investor empowerment, encouraging retail investors to make informed decisions and build long-term financial security. By uniting financial professionals, industry leaders, and global stakeholders, GIC seeks to drive economic innovation, reduce financial disparities, and strengthen the resilience of the global financial system.

Beyond the competition, OECD continues to play a pivotal role in shaping global economic progress through policy research, financial market regulation, and initiatives aimed at fostering a robust and sustainable financial ecosystem worldwide.
Join us in the 2025 Global Investment Challenge—a stage where talent meets opportunity, and innovation drives excellence. Together, let’s shape the future of global finance!
