Young Investors

New Years is usually a time we tell ourselves this is the year we will finally make some unrealistic lifestyle change that we probably are not ready to make yet. Let’s make sure you don’t make that same mistake this year, for you or for your child. Let us take you by the hand and guide you through our list of five new year's resolutions that you can actually accomplish and more importantly, will actually make a difference.

Christmas and, specifically, receiving gifts on Christmas has always been something focused on the kids. It’s always the kids that get to have fun opening the big presents on Christmas morning, whether they are games, toys, books, learning materials, clothes or something else.   This year, let’s change that. Help your kids get you something great for Christmas. 

If you want your teen to be on a path towards potentially becoming the next Warren Buffett, now is the time to make sure they are prepared for the investing future that awaits them and the best way to do that is by giving them access to resources that will properly prepare them for what’s ahead.  One way you can do that is through our Global Investment Challenge 3. 

This Christmas, ingenuity is a necessity and rather than the same old stuff, give your kids and loved ones gifts that they will use and remember. What better way to start the year than learning how to invest. Kids today are savvier than ever before, and it’s quite normal for them to have a rudimentary understanding of the stock market, taxes and even bitcoin.

After a 20-year career spent managing high-profile corporate projects and travelling the globe (visiting more than 45 countries, and living in eight), Hasina Lookman was ready for a change. She wanted the autonomy to do something she loved that would make a difference in the lives of others. But what? Her 10-year-old daughter, Mira, suggested teaching kids about money and travel — two areas in which Hasina has plenty of expertise. So, she started Explorer Hop — a series of “adventure” programs that teach kids financial literacy and global awareness, helping develop financially savvy youth with an appreciation for different cultures.

So why should you teach your kids about Investing? We know that talking about investing and saving early on, helps kids understand the importance of money. They know exactly how much effort and work are put in to earn and save money! Giving them this opportunity to learn and ask questions right now means that they will have a better hold on their financial future. This learning will help them question, think, and reflect about money matters from an early age and thus they’ll be better equipped in their adulthood. And that’s what we want right? A brighter and better future for our kids.

The safest way to get your kids or teens involved in the world of investing is through index funds. Index funds take your kid’s investment and split it amongst a set of stocks. Index funds do not offer a get-rich-quick approach, but they do allow your kids to plan their future goals including university, buying a house, and retiring early!
