Creating the Next Generation of Successful Stock Market Investors

An investment organization dedicated to teaching personal finance and stock market investing.

About Us

Teen Traders is an organization dedicated to teaching teenagers and high-school students about stock market investing, personal finance, and financial literacy. Through competition-based learning, students are able to grasp fundamental investing concepts and learn how to grow their portfolios using a variety of strategies. Throughout the process, there will be videos and meetings to help students navigate the world of finance. Every resource is completely free to use for students and is designed to prepare them for financial success in their lives.

Starting to invest at a young age is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your financial health. Using the power of compound interest coupled with safe investing strategies, you can grow your net worth at a stable and impressive rate. This concept is demonstrated on our YouTube channel, The Teenage Investor, through this short video.
As we looked around, we realized that there was a stark lack of financial knowledge and a large difference in knowledge between young, new investors and tried and tested traders. With numbers like this, most young adults are going into the financial world not knowing about Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, or basic investment strategy.

By teaching personal finance and investment management, not only do we set people up with the skills necessary to get ahead, we let them test it in real-world scenarios.
