Financial Literacy Series Begins April 9
CFA Society Bermuda, in partnership with Bermuda College, will offer its Financial Literacy Series starting April 9, to help participants build essential money management skills.
A spokesperson said, “April is recognized as Financial Literacy Month – a time to promote financial education and equip individuals with knowledge to make informed financial decisions. CFA Society Bermuda is offering its Financial Literacy Series, in partnership with the Bermuda College’s Athora Division of Professional and Career Education [APACE], beginning on April 9th, 2025. The course will be delivered on Wednesday evenings over three weeks, in person, at the Bermuda College.
“The class is designed to give participants an introduction to setting financial goals and managing personal finances. Over three weeks, the course covers the basics of savings and budgeting, managing income, expenses, and debt, and provides an overview of Bermuda’s pension program. The course explains common financial products, definitions of key terms and concepts, and uses practical examples throughout.
“The initiative is volunteer led with local CFA [Chartered Financial Analyst] charterholders offering their knowledge and experience to deliver the course and provide real-life examples, intended to be relevant to Bermuda, wherever possible. Since its inception in 2019, the series has reached over 200 participants of diverse backgrounds, ranging from teenagers to seniors.
“The course is $80 and individuals can apply for funding to offset the cost. More information can be found on the Bermuda College website under Continuing Education [APACE]. Join us to build foundational skills to help manage your day-to-day finances and begin to plan for your future goals.”
