Members form investment clubs to compete against each other in the annual Flow Traders Investment Competition to achieve the highest risk adjusted return. Members are educated in different fields of finance through the B&R Beurs Academy Tracks and are provided with career advice and opportunities. Results Next Generation has established itself as a regular top 3 contender in the competition ever since it was founded, reaching that goal multiple times and winning the competition once with a return of over 40%.
