What Is UK Invests?
UK Invests is a first-of-its-kind initiative that helps students build financial confidence through education, investing and engagement.
Through the program, students can strengthen their understanding of financial wellness, practice real-world investing and earn rewards for participating in activities that support their academic success and personal well-being.
Developed in collaboration with Fidelity Investments®, UK Invests is designed to help students build habits that create lasting benefits for themselves, their families and their communities.
Why It Matters
UK Invests opened the door to investing for me. Before college, I wanted to invest but didn't know where to start. Through UK Invests, I gained the knowledge and confidence to begin investing, and I even discovered a passion for it that's led me to pursue a minor in economics.
