Shuxian (Susan) Ho
FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Shuxian (Susan) Ho, a 16-year-old from Canada with a passion for finance and helping others succeed financially. As the founder of SMART Institute, I am dedicated to empowering teenagers and university students with essential investment knowledge to secure their financial futures.
Why SMART?
Inspired by the realization that many young individuals lack fundamental financial literacy, I established this organization with a mission to bridge the gap and equip them with the tools they need to build wealth. At SMART Investment Institute, we provide comprehensive education on personal finance, investment strategies, and other key financial concepts. Our goal is to prepare young individuals for the challenges and opportunities they will encounter in the ever-changing economic landscape.
