$500 Grants

Financial barriers should not bar dreams. 

 

Our mission is to inspire the next-generation investors. In every one of our five-week programs, we host a stock-simulation program, where the student(s)–who achieves the greatest percentage return and demonstrates a genuine passion in investment–will be provided a grant to open their own real-life portfolio. A total of $3,000 worth of grants were provided in the Sept. 2020 - Sept. 2021 filing year.

Meet Our Founder

 In 6th Grade, gifted my first stock in Sony by my aunt, my interest in the investment market was sparked. However, with family that had zero exposure to the stock market, I had to find a way to learn how fundamentals of the market myself–I was determined to break into the barriers of the investment world. 

 

With a lack of investment programs catering to my age, I had to seek mentors and teach myself the nuisances of the market. Pouring over books, receiving advice from professionals, and spending of hundreds trading on the market, I have gained a unique perspective of learning about the stock market as a youth.  

 

Officially licensed on September 13, 2020, I am the youngest professionally designated Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor (CMFC®) in the nation. Additionally, I manage my own small fund, Jingo Capital –founded on January 2020 – with 6-figures in capital. I have had the fortunate opportunities to intern at local investment firms in Orange County and to legislate California's first financial literacy bill (AB423).

 

I currently am an incoming freshman at Harvard Univeristy, studying economics and government.

 

Through my experiences, I kindle a new dream to enable the millions of youth, in the same position as I once was, with the opportunities of accessing the resources to learn about the stock market and build the skill-sets to thrive in today's world. This is the reason I launched Youth Investors Corp. 

 

I hope that you join us in our journey. 

 

Sincerely,
