Sanford Center Workshop: Investing Basics for Beginners

Posted by Brian Smith for Haworth College of Business

Investing does not require wealth or advanced financial knowledge to get started. This beginner-friendly workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of investing, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, retirement accounts, diversification, compound growth and risk tolerance. Participants will learn how investing supports long-term wealth building and how small, consistent contributions can create significant financial growth over time.

This event is for Haworth College of Business students only and is approved for a SPuRS Advanced Level - Personal & Interpersonal Knowledge activity.
