AU-FINS is here to guide you through the investment process so you can make smart financial decisions. We offer tips to help you manage your personal finances and set sound financial goals—and we explain in plain language key investing concepts, different types of investments and investment professionals, and questions to ask.

We also provide tools and calculators to help you make informed financial decisions—and we show you the steps to safeguard those investments and where to turn if a problem occurs.

Enjoy the journey. And if you’re new to investing, or just need a tune up, our Investing Basics section is a great place to start.
