The ANSA McAL Group of Com­pa­nies has part­nered with Wiz­dom­CRM Caribbean Ltd for Cy­cle 11 of the Sus­tain­able Stock Mar­ket AI Plat­form Com­pe­ti­tion, which runs from Oc­to­ber 1 to De­cem­ber 31, 2025.

The re­gion­al pro­gramme tar­gets thou­sands of sec­ondary school stu­dents in Ja­maica, Bar­ba­dos, Guyana and Trinidad and To­ba­go, of­fer­ing train­ing in fi­nan­cial lit­er­a­cy and stock mar­ket par­tic­i­pa­tion.

As part of the part­ner­ship, ANSA McAL is spon­sor­ing 2,000 stu­dents this cy­cle. In pre­vi­ous years, ANSA-spon­sored schools ac­count­ed for over 95,000 trades and pro­duced 76 top-per­form­ing stu­dents, in­clud­ing con­sis­tent win­ners from Trin­i­ty Col­lege East in Trinidad and Camper­down High in Ja­maica.

Stu­dents in the com­pe­ti­tion each re­ceive US$25,000 in vir­tu­al funds to trade through Wiz­dom­CRM’s AI-pow­ered plat­form “Mr. Rab­bit.” The tool al­lows them to buy and sell shares on the Ja­maica, Bar­ba­dos and Trinidad and To­ba­go Stock Ex­changes, with Cy­cle 11 adding ac­cess to the Mex­i­co and Jo­han­nes­burg Stock Ex­changes.

The ini­tia­tive has al­so se­cured ap­proval from the Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent in Ghana to in­tro­duce the pro­gramme in African schools, with the Turks and Caicos Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion al­so sign­ing on. Dis­cus­sions are un­der­way with Suri­name, The Ba­hamas, the Cay­man Is­lands, St Kitts and Nevis, Mex­i­co, the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic and the Unit­ed King­dom.
