Good financial habits
start here.
Because we believe financial literacy is one of the keys to financial stability―for both individuals and communities―we’ve been educating investors for more than 80 years.
Last year, our financial education efforts
reached 4.3 million people.1
In 2008, we saw a gap in the financial education of young kids and set out to improve their financial knowledge and behaviors. Since then, our financial education programs have reached more than a million kids, parents, and educators with tools, games, and resources informed by research.1 We extend that reach with community programs and partnerships―instilling invaluable life skills for generations to come.

PARENTS, KIDS & MONEY SURVEY
Survey says: You can learn a lot from parents and kids.
Since 2009, we have conducted our annual Parents, Kids & Money Survey to improve our understanding of parents’ financial knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. To gain a more complete picture, we expanded the survey to include kids ages 8-14 in 2012. Year after year, this research provides critical insight for developing our financial education programs.
Our 2017 Parents, Kids &
Money Survey3 revealed
that kids who are allowed
to manage their own
money have better habits.
