ALFI encourages education at all levels
For beginner or amateur investors, we are implementing the Understanding Investing initiative whose objective falls into the growing need to improve the financial literacy of European citizens. By means of useful tutorials, the platform explain the risks and benefits of an investment fund and dissects relatively complex investment terms so they are accessible to most people.
For the experienced investor, we provide a wide range of information at alfi.lu. We furthermore work closely with the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg House of Training on various educational projects for students and professionals.
ALFI employees commit themselves to financial education, for example by teaching anti-money laundering classes at the University of Luxembourg or by regularly offering students general presentations about the Luxembourg fund industry.
Support to the new generation of talents
In 2022, the ALFI NextGen Initiative was born out of the need to make the Luxembourg fund industry more attractive. The aim to increase the visibility and influence of the fund industry’s young professionals and aspiring leaders by creating spaces or contexts where they can bring in new ideas and take part in discussions and projects that are key to the Luxembourg fund industry.
In addition, ALFI participates in the Job Shadow Day programme organised by Jonk Entrepreneuren (JEL), which allows students from age 16 to “shadow” a business leader over the course of their working day, offering a valuable hands-on experience of the business world.
ALFI provides human and financial support (bronze sponsorship) for the “Fit for Life” awareness-raising financial education programme in schools across the Grand Duchy, led by Jonk Entrepreneuren.
This programme provides students aged 14 to 16 with a practical and interactive introduction to money, budgeting, insurance, consumption, and career matters.
