The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) is offering a free online toolkit to help millennials begin investing.

The regulator says its Get Started with Investing resource is “an unbiased source of information” featuring a series of 11 short videos, plus interactive tools and educational articles.

The BCSC says that the new resource specifically targets millennials because its research shows that millennials “are more unsure about where to look for information, less familiar with the retail investing industry, and less knowledgeable about investing than older generations.”

"We know that many millennials in B.C. want to start investing, but don't know where to turn for help," said Pamela McDonald, the BCSC's Director of Communications and Education. "While investing might not be right the right choice for everyone, starting early and creating a plan is a great way to meet your financial goals."

The toolkit can be found on the BCSC’s investor education website, InvestRight.org.
