Capital Markets Authority-Kenya Investor Education and Public Awareness Campaign

Another initiative,Lol a lot but am going to see on how I can merge some using correlation techniques.

I was privileged to be selected as one of the 42 out of over 700 applications for Capital Markets Authority Kenya Resource Persons to conduct Investor Education and Public Awareness Campaign. This one is phase one of this season's program. The initiative targets local communities and the public at large.

Investor education and awareness play a crucial role in creating value for individual investors, capital markets, and the overall economy. Here are some key ways in which investor education and awareness can create value:

Empowering informed decision-making: Investor education equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to understand financial concepts, investment products, and risks. It enables investors to make informed decisions based on their financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. By understanding the market dynamics, investors can avoid common pitfalls and make choices that align with their objectives, leading to better investment outcomes.

Mitigating risks and reducing fraud: Investor education raises awareness about investment scams, fraudulent schemes, and unethical practices. It helps individuals recognize warning signs, identify red flags, and avoid falling victim to fraudulent activities. Educated investors are more likely to conduct due diligence, seek professional advice when needed, and make informed judgments, which can reduce the incidence of fraud and protect their investments.

Fostering market transparency and integrity: When investors are educated about their rights, responsibilities, and the regulatory framework, they contribute to market transparency and integrity. Informed investors demand greater transparency from market participants, encourage good governance practices, and hold companies accountable. This, in turn, can help build trust in the capital markets and attract more investors, leading to increased market participation and liquidity.

Facilitating long-term wealth creation: Investor education promotes a long-term perspective by emphasizing the importance of patience, diversification, and disciplined investing. It encourages individuals to focus on their financial goals and develop strategies that align with their investment horizons.

An impact involves the change that I will bring about with my training programs. World Pulse is going to Help me measure the impact through the impact dashboard as I'll be updating my progress on how many people I would have trained per engagement. Measuring my impact will motivate me and learn my strengths and weaknesses as I improve on the areas necessary.

The authority's expectations is for us to conduct a forum or workshop with atleast 30 participants on board twice a month. I target atleast 4 sessions a month making the impact goal to be atleast 4×30=120 p.m. My expectations is to impact knowledge on 1,440 potential investors annually.
