More Information:
First Nations Development Institute has just released a guide to financial investing titled Building Native Communities Investing for the Future.
This workbook designed to teach the basics of investing was developed with guidance from an advisory group of Native financial experts.
It includes modules on savings, goal setting, risk and reward, the time value of money, the power of compounding, understanding financial markets, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, indexes, and other topics such as avoiding investment fraud and saving for retirement. The curriculum covers both why to invest and how to invest.
Investing for the Future provides an overview of basic investing concepts in an accessible, easy-to-use format, and is the latest addition to First Nations Building Native Communities curriculum series on financial education.
