In this latest article by Lulu Yilun Chen, Bloomberg shines a light on AmplifyME’s efforts to equip the next generation of finance professionals across Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
As finance giants like Citadel and Morgan Stanley search for younger talent, our simulation-based workshops are giving high school students a head start in the competitive finance industry.
During the two-day workshop, students aged 15 to 18 managed fictitious $20 million portfolios, mimicking the pressures of professional trading floors. Why? To gain hands-on experience typically reserved for seasoned professionals and cultivate a younger talent pipeline for AmplifyME’s institutional partners.

AmplifyME’s efforts in the APAC region are part of a broader mission to make finance education accessible to all, regardless of background. As opportunities in traditional financial hubs like Hong Kong and Shanghai shift, students in these regions are looking further afield to New York and London.
From Morgan Stanley to Citadel, financial institutions worldwide are seeking to attract the best and brightest talent at increasingly younger ages. Our work in APAC and beyond is making a significant impact by helping these firms discover and nurture future leaders.

The simulations, co-hosted by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), drew a diverse group of participants, with significant female representation, supported by local organisations like Inspiring Girls Hong Kong. The event emphasised merit-based opportunities, aiming to break down traditional barriers in the finance industry.
The article also highlights the success of students like Vincent Huang, who excelled in our simulations, earned top marks for his performance, and entered our training academy. Students like Vincent demonstrate that with the right tools and opportunities, the next generation of finance leaders can emerge from anywhere in the world.
