Toss Securities announced on the 2nd that it held a tailored financial education program for the middle-aged and older adults in collaboration with the Seoul Lifelong Education Promotion Agency on the 25th of last month.
This program was carried out as part of a social contribution activity jointly conducted by Toss Securities and the Seoul City through public-private cooperation, aimed at enhancing financial literacy for marginalized groups and strengthening asset protection capabilities.
The education, conducted as part of the Seoul Re-Tech project, was held at the Central Campus of the Seoul Citizen University under the theme of 'Safe retirement, smart choices.' Thirty-one citizens aged 40 to 60 participated.
In the first part of the lecture, Moon Chang-yeop, manager of the Toss CX Consumer Protection Team, introduced the types of financial scams that are becoming more sophisticated and actual cases of damage, and provided prevention strategies and response measures that can be applied in real life.
In the second part, Lee Ji-sun, a researcher at the Toss Securities Research Center, presented realistic asset management strategies and financial investment methods by life cycle for the middle-aged and older adults. After the lecture, a Q&A session and discussion were held.
A representative from Toss Securities noted, "Although we live in an age where investment and asset management are basic skills required, there are still marginalized groups that do not have sufficient opportunities to benefit from financial education," and added, "We would like to continue expanding educational opportunities in cooperation with various partners and contribute to the popularization of financial education."
