Fidelity’s Money Gains makes learning about investing fun, easy and accessible

How soon is too soon? When it comes to the world of investing and seeing their money grow, giving students an early start on their investment education journey is key to helping them reach their life goals. From saving for their first car, to travelling the world, to setting themselves up for independence, students have a lot to gain from knowing how to grow their money.

And wouldn’t it be great if you could help them learn?

Across Canada, governments are increasingly focused on beefing up financial literacy for students – including a recent Ontario Ministry of Education announcement about creating a test as a graduation requirement.

That’s why Fidelity Investments Canada created Money Gains, a suite of free, short videos that simplify concepts and demonstrate the value of investing. Our videos use content and examples relevant to high-school students, with conversational and approachable language and short-and-sweet formats.

Money Gains covers topics like:

  • How different types of investments can give you different results
  • What asset classes are, and why they matter
  • Why compounding is the real secret to making your money work for you
  • Understanding the difference between saving and investing
  • The importance of setting goals
  • Investment risk and return principles

What’s in it for them?

Students can easily learn to master the basics of investing with our series of easy-to-follow educational videos. Step by step, they’re taken through what it takes to get the most out of their money, giving them a solid foundation that sets them up for success.

What’s in it for you?

We want to make it as easy as possible for teachers to make investment education available and accessible in and out of the classroom. For educators in Ontario, we’ve created lesson plans to support integrating Money Gains into your classroom, in both English and French—for MTH1W, BEM1O, BEP2O, and GLC2O. The plans were written by an Ontario certified teacher.

Bringing Money Gains into your classroom

Why not use Money Gains as your top tool to get these concepts across? With our lesson plans, we’ve done the work for you so you can focus on helping your students learn these important life concepts with confidence.

Whether you’re a money pro or could use a refresher, we’ve created a suite of lesson plans that supplement our video series to help you bring these concepts into your own classroom with support materials that make it all fun and engaging.

Teachers—as you prep for classes for this fall and the year ahead, you can help speed things up by using Fidelity’s lesson plans.
