Over the years, IIEF has steadily built competencies in the areas of promoting financial literacy among everyday people and associated public education programmes. Past activities in these areas include the conduct of a non-random financial literacy and investor behavior survey (with a sample of 2300 financial customers, 2002). IIEF has also written and published a financial literacy course for individual investors (titled 'ABC of Money') and produced two handbooks on (a) financial markets and concepts, and (b) mutual funds (which has already sold over 50,000 copies). IIEF has conducted thirteen mass outreach campaigns to promote a better understand of financial sector issues among individual investors in multiple states and conducted over 150 investor education seminars across multiple states (attended by over 100,000 individual investors). Under its financial education practice, IIEF has also delivered over 350 financial certification courses to over 50,000 financial intermediaries and financial product distributors (bank employees and mutual fund/insurance agents) across 27 cities. |
