To educate investors on how to take risks in the money market, the National StockExchange Limited (NSE) and Indian Institute of Management-Bengaluru (IIM-B) on Monday jointly launched the Platform for Investor Education (PIE).
The PIE has several unique features for investor education and called it an outcome of synergy between them, a press release said.
The educational material of IIM-B would be product-neutral, unlike many offered by the other financial services entities, the release said.
The content would be developed by experienced faculty and the materials would incorporate the latest in animation and data visualisation technology, it said.
The study material would be made available on multiple platforms to actively engage different cohorts of potential investors, the release said.
The IIM-B's Centre for Capital Markets and Risk Management aims to make this initiative much more than just large-scale online education, supplementing the videos with frequently updated web content as well as by conducting periodic investor fora at different locations, it said.
