A handy guide that provides easy-to-understand information on the workings of the stock market is the latest brainchild of the NTU Investment Interactive Club (IIC).
 Giving young investors a head start in making good investment decisions, the Young Investor Pocketbook produced by the NTU IIC was launched on 15 March, as part of the Young Investor Pack - an initiative by OCBC securities to help novice student investors acquire investing skills and develop financial literacy.
The pocketbook took almost four months to produce, with members of the IIC juggling their demanding school schedules to meet the tight production deadline. The end result is a useful and informative guide providing novice investors with a clear understanding of the various investing terminologies and theories. The guide also contains simple explanations of the fundamental concepts of investing in the stock market, and points readers to the various resources and investment tools available online. OCBC Securities sponsored the production of 1,000 copies of the guide, which is distributed to all who sign up for a trading account or a pre-trading account with the firm.
According to Terence Lim, the Executive Committee President of NTU IIC, the book is not a typical in-depth investment textbook, but serves as a general guide to investing. "We hope that this book can benefit students in their understanding of the stock market, and methodology for research. This will spur them to continue to do more in-depth research on the methodology that is discussed in the book and to take a step into investing. This is, after all, not a one-stop guide, but a starter guide for young investors towards financial freedom."
