This fund operates as a simulation, meaning no real capital is invested. Instead, it provides a risk-free platform for team members to:

Explore and practice investment strategies.
Analyze market conditions.
Understand asset allocation.

Although the fund does not use real money, decisions are based on live market data and real-world analytics to ensure the simulated outcomes reflect actual market dynamics.
