As a proud supporter of IOSCO’s World Investor Week, EFAMA is organising this event to stimulate discussion and actions on investor education and financial literacy in Europe.

 

On this occasion, EFAMA will present a new animated brochure aimed at millennials, titled ‘Investing for a better future – 5 tips to do more with your savings’. The brochure aims at stimulating millennials to consider investing early and explains how to get started. It will be available in many European languages.
