Boosting Financial Skills of Young Managers: Role of Financial Education as a Safety Network for Investor Protection

Young investors are increasingly participating in financial markets at an early age, facilitated by mobile investing platforms and cryptocurrencies. “Boosting Financial Skills of Young Managers: Role of Financial Education as a Safety Network for Investor Protection”, the next youth workshop in the series, organized by IEPF Chair Unit of NCAER is going to be very useful for youth packed with financial experts’ views on the essentiality of modernizing financial education efforts and effectively protecting investors’ interest that can improve and maintain investor confidence in the financial markets. This workshop is contextual and crucial because with increasing need for early financial engagement of youth, there is significant interest for contemporary financial education that resonates with the tech-savvy youth and teaches them not only about the opportunities available but also the risks involved in investing. Enhancing their understanding through a modern investor protection framework can prevent potential financial missteps due to inexperience or misinformation. Through a highly interactive and participatory mode, the workshop would focus on instilling a robust foundation of financial literacy, emphasize the importance of regulatory compliance for safety, and highlight ways to address and rectify issues should they arise, thereby nurturing a well-informed young investor community with sustained confidence in the financial markets. This proactive approach in educating our youth is not only vital for their personal financial success and the overall health of the economy but also encourages long-term investment and income security efforts that promotes financial stability.
