At ST Podcasts, we have officially unveiled a new podcast show called HeadStart On Record . Every first and third Monday of the month, get a headstart in your personal finance and career.
In this first episode titled - Investing with $100 a month as an undergrad? Why not! - we speak with a professor and a student on how university investing clubs can help undergraduates start growing their money safely and surely, and the first investments that they can buy to begin their journey. The NTU Investment Interactive Club helps to link students to the finance community and hone their practical investing skills. It was founded in 1999 and now has over 5,000 members.
This was borne out in a survey of 1,000 young people commissioned by The Straits Times, carried out in May by market research firm Kantar and released in August.
