Earlier this week, NGPF and McKinney launched STAX, a game that will teach students that sometimes the best investment strategy is the simplest.
We built STAX after hundreds of conversations with educators, whose top 10 list of features included:
⟶ Our MOVE: Let’s Make a Mutual Fund activity will work very well before playing STAX or after.
Here's what leading financial experts are saying about STAX:
"If market games, which engage students in short-term speculation in individual securities, is the disease, then STAX, which demonstrates the wisdom of long-term passive investing, is the cure. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
William Bernstein, author of Four Pillars of Investing and The Intelligent Asset Allocator
"Want a short, powerful lesson on the virtues of sensible, long-term investing? Call up STAX--and, depending on the choices you make, you can see in just 20 minutes how things might go terribly wrong over the next 20 years, but also how they can go wonderfully right."
Jonathan Clements, former columnist at the Wall Street Journal, author of From Here to Financial Happiness and How to Think About Money
While many students may find “exciting” stock market games an adrenaline rush, they actually teach millions of students more about gambling rather than investing. That’s why I love the new NGPF investing simulation, STAX, since it tracks investing over decades instead of weeks. It’s my hope that STAX will be used in every high school in America.

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
