Investor and Financial Education Programme for Vulnerable Groups

Programmes

Anti-Scam Programme for Seniors

To cater to the unique needs of vulnerable members of society, we have invited organisations to develop investor and financial education initiatives which aim to:

  • help disadvantaged families develop investor and financial education skills and habits so that they can plan for their future;
  • support vulnerable groups to build financial resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath;
  • promote investor and financial education among different ethnic groups while embracing cultural diversity in money management; and
  • motivate and drive desirable financial behaviours of vulnerable communities or groups with special learning needs through innovative approaches.
