You’re a college student, studying hard and enjoying college life. I remember those days.

With all of that going on, why should you think about investing for your financial future?

Well, one of the best ways to build wealth is by saving and investing for the long term. So, the earlier you start, the easier it is for your money to grow due to what’s calling compounding interest.

As a former professor, don’t worry, I’m not going to lecture you. But I do want to give you just a little bit of advice to consider.

First, the good news. Financial technology is making it easier to invest than ever before. However, with that, everywhere you look, whether it’s in commercials, your email inbox, on social media, in that technology that you’re getting, or even on campus, it seems that everyone is bombarding you with investment offers.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to educate yourself about what you should consider before investing.

The SEC has tried to make it a bit easier for you with a new Investor Bulletin we just issued. We’ve compiled our top 10 investment suggestions for college students just like you to consider when opening an investment account.

As a former professor, I can’t resist giving you one bit of homework. Go to Investor.gov where you can find all 10 tips from our Investor Bulletin, and other free tools and information on how you can get started with your saving and investing plans.
