ShareQuest Information

Welcome to ShareQuest, a new British platform that applies the fantasy football formula to UK equities – and it might just be the most effective way to learn investing. The premise is elegantly simple. Players build virtual portfolios of London Stock Exchange-listed shares, competing against each other. There's no real money invested in the markets, but there's real money to be won – and everything to learn. Entry costs £1 / week, £5 / month, or £50 a year with competitions for weekly, monthly and annual ShareQuests., Half of all entry fees will go into prize pools. It's a model that borrows from the best of fantasy sports: low enough stakes that anyone can play, high enough that people care about winning. The genius of Fantasy Premier League isn't that it teaches you football – you already know football, It makes you *care* about players you'd never normally watch. Suddenly you're checking how Nottingham Forest's left-back performed because he's in your team." The same psychology applies to shares. When you've got BP in your virtual portfolio, you start paying attention to oil prices. The learning happens almost accidentally – driven by competition rather than obligation. The Autumn Budget changes makes ShareQuest more relevant than ever. From April 2027, under-65s will see their cash ISA allowance cut from £20,000 to £12,000, with the remaining £8,000 of their annual allowance ring-fenced for stocks and shares investments. But for millions who have never bought a share in their lives, the prospect is daunting. Where do you even start? This is the gap ShareQuest aims to fill.
