THE MONEY CONFIDENCE PROJECT PARTNERS WITH THE NASDAQ FOUNDATION TO LAUNCH "THE INVESTMENT QUEST" SERIES

The Partnership Aims to Help Investors Feel Connected, Confident, and Equipped to Start Their Investing Journey 

PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Money Confidence Project (MCP) today announced the launch of "The Investment Quest," a five-part, short-form video series developed in partnership with the Nasdaq Foundation. The series – which is designed to help first-time investors from under-resourced communities build confidence and develop their investor identity – is now available on demand on Million Stories, MCP's digital platform. 

Each episode is grounded in findings from the 'Transforming Investor Identity' initiative, conducted by Commonwealth, which found that the perception of oneself as belonging in the investing community is one of the most significant predictors of whether someone takes a first step toward investing. The series blends personal stories, humor and practical guidance to meet viewers where they are – on their phones, on their own schedule, and in their own language. 

"Money anxiety is a real thing. Investment anxiety is a real thing. By partnering with the Nasdaq Foundation on The Investment Quest, we aim to ease that anxiety," said Geoff Howard, CEO of The Money Confidence Project. "We've curated a series that entertains and informs in a way that is easy to understand and brings humor and real-world tips to break down complex concepts."

"The Investment Quest is a powerful expression of our shared mission – expanding access to financial knowledge and tools for communities that have not always had them," said Jailan Griffiths, President, Nasdaq Foundation and Head of Purpose, Nasdaq. "It meets people where they are, in a format that is accessible, relatable and grounded in real-world insight."
