Empowering Young Investors: How Wes Wilkes and Fint Invest Are Redefining Financial Education
Fint Invest, the innovative app founded by Wes Wilkes, our CEO is making waves in financial education. Launched in 2024, Fint empowers young investors with the knowledge and tools to make smarter financial decisions. With co-founders Curtis and AJ Pritchard bringing their influence and enthusiasm, the app bridges the gap between education and accessible investing.
The Inspiration Behind Fint
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Wes recognised a glaring issue financial literacy among young people was severely lacking. Schools rarely teach the essentials of money management, leaving many vulnerable to poor decisions. Fint was born out of a passion to change this, combining Wes’s expertise in wealth management with an innovative approach to learning.
AJ Pritchard explains the vision: “I had no financial guidance when I found sudden success. Fint is about giving people the tools and knowledge I wish I had.”
How Fint Stands Out
The app’s unique features include:
- Tailored Portfolios: Users can invest in sectors that align with their values, such as climate change, e-sports, and disruptive technology.
- Educational Dashboard: Gamified tools help users build financial confidence while they learn.
- Risk Profiling Expertise: Portfolios are designed using insights from Oxford Risk, a trusted name in professional advising.
Fint doesn’t just simplify investing, it prioritises education. By combining accessible tools with engaging learning features, it ensures users feel confident in their decisions.
Beyond the App
Wes, Curtis, and AJ also host the Money Talks podcast, discussing topics like financial literacy, goal-setting, and avoiding the pitfalls of online financial advice. This multi-platform approach reflects Wes’s commitment to equipping the next generation with essential money skills.
Wes has also raised awareness about the dangers of unverified financial advice from social media influencers. “Financial decisions are serious business,” he warns. “It’s vital to rely on credible, expert-backed tools like Fint to avoid costly mistakes.”
A Vision for the Future
Fint Invest isn’t just about building wealth, it’s about fostering financial confidence and empowering a generation to make informed choices. As Wes Wilkes continues to champion financial education, his innovative work with Fint has positioned him as a leader in reshaping how young people approach investing.
