This paper reports the results of a survey of students' perceptions of an investment portfolio simulation game. 439 students participated in the survey at the end of the spring semester at the University. A survey was conducted to find out if participation in investment portfolio simulations would motivate them to further their interest in investments; how much they applied their classroom acquired knowledge in the simulation game; whether or not they were motivated to increase their efforts in studying Investments, in other words, whether they find the investment simulation game valuable. We found that all together 293 students find the investment simulation game very valuable or valuable, but only 63 have been very much or somewhat involved in the simulation game; 49 of them applied classroom acquired knowledge, and simulation game motivated only 8 students to increase their efforts in studying Investments. The results are expected to serve to take the project "Investor" forward to include it as part of the students' credits as well as promoting its educational purpose.
