Building Wealth for Our Youth
Custodial Investment Accounts
Equity Now, Inc. serves as the Charter Management Organization (CMO) for Legends Charter School. An essential component of our mission is to provide a rigorous financial education curriculum that will translate to robust investment portfolios for scholars.
We have established a baseline percentage for Legends Charter School scholars to have custodial investment accounts, with a yearly increase of 25% until 90% of the student body is invested in the stock market.
Percentage of Scholar Custodial Investment Accounts as of April 2021
- Kindergarten: 16%
- First Grade: 13%
- Second Grade: 20%
- Third Grade: 20%
- Fourth Grade: 14%
- Fifth Grade: 17%
Through targeted communication and robust financial education programming, we aim to increase the number of scholars invested to 75% in 2022.
