New videos and lesson plans for teachers officially released

TORONTO, 10 September 2024 /CNW/ – According to the Fidelity Young Canadians Study in partnership with Ipsos, 78% of young Canadians ages 15 to 17 said it was important for them to learn about budgeting and money management. To help them achieve this goal, Fidelity Investments Canada ULC (Fidelity) is releasing new content in its Money Gains video series, a library of free, engaging videos that teach students the ABCs of investing.

First published in 2023, Money Gains is aimed at students in grades 9 and 10, but can also be a helpful resource for parents and educators looking to support students in their investment decisions. The series is available in English and French on fidelity.ca and YouTube.

What’s new

“Learning to invest wisely is a fundamental skill for our young people,” said Diana GodfreySenior Vice President, Human Resources and Corporate Affairs, Fidelity. “We know that teens are increasingly looking for investment advice on social media, so it’s really important that we provide them with credible information that gives them the tools to make good financial decisions, rather than telling them What that you can invest in. That is our goal with Money Gains.”

“The world of investing is exciting, but it can also be daunting,” said Kelly CreelmanSenior Vice President, Products and Marketing, Fidelity. “Money Gains starts with the basics so teens can gain confidence in their investment knowledge and learn to save for their life goals – whether that’s a vacation, further education or their first home. We’re excited to offer our expertise as a company to help young people, parents and educators along this journey.”

With the Ontario’s Following the Government’s recent announcement to introduce financial literacy as a Year 10 leaving requirement, Money Gains is offering students the opportunity to improve their investment knowledge. Fidelity supports the Government’s increasing focus on financial literacy and is keen to be an industry partner in achieving this goal.

The story continues

Fidelity’s work in financial literacy extends beyond Money Gains. One of the ways Fidelity is committed to improving financial literacy is through the efforts of its Charitable Giving Committee. Education is one of the committee’s six areas of impact. By supporting charities such as Pathways to Education, the Toronto Public Library and the Toronto Foundation for Student Success, to name a few, we help equip individuals with the knowledge and tools they need for financial well-being.
