KCM Trade Partners with Leading Australian Universities to Host “Trading 101” Seminars| Advancing Corporate Social Responsibility and Promoting Trading Knowledge

In August 2025, KCM Trade once again partnered with prestigious student societies and Chinese–Australian youth organisations in Melbourne to host its “Trading 101” educational series. The two-day seminar, held at the University of Melbourne and Monash University, focused on structured teaching and simulated trading competitions. The initiative aims to help students build sound and rational trading concepts while reinforcing KCM Trade’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Key Themes and Highlights

• Structured Foundational Learning: Covering core topics such as “Fundamentals of Trading and Wealth Management,” “Major Asset Classes,” and “The Impact of Global Events (e.g. trade tensions) on Markets,” the sessions provided a progressive knowledge framework to strengthen students’ risk awareness and market understanding.

• Practical Learning Pathway: Connecting classroom learning with post-session application, the programme featured a risk-free simulated trading competition with prizes totalling more than USD 1,000, encouraging participants to apply strategies and review performance.
