In his position, Shahriar oversees the club and interacts with students from all degrees and backgrounds who have made wise investment choices over the years, resulting in remarkable results.

At the College of Wooster, there is a high-value growth investment portfolio called Jenny Investment Club.

The club, which has a market worth of an astonishing $10 million, has already given more than $340,000 to student scholarships since 1986.

In the 1950s, The College of Wooster was the first institution to introduce the idea of student-organized and administered funds, demonstrating the superiority of student decision-making in financial analyses.The club's investments in the US stock market typically yield a 10% return.

Shahriar's inspirational journey with the Jenny Investment Club is an illuminating illustration of the potential influence Bangladeshi students may have on the future of their country.

Shahriar claimed that he fell in love with investing as a result of his interest for studying national and international technology and economic trends.

According to Shahriar in a recent interview, Bangladeshi students should embrace financial literacy and stock market investments to further their careers and support the nation's economic growth.

He suggested that students in Bangladesh create such a group to hasten their understanding of the stock market.

He recognises that education in financial markets, investments, and macroeconomics is vital for understanding the proper allocation of resources in a free market.

‘As Bangladeshi students embrace the concept of student-managed investment funds like Jenny, they have a remarkable opportunity to tap into the potential of their country’s financial markets,’ Shahriar said.

‘By conducting thorough research and exercising due diligence, their involvement can leave a lasting impact on the development of the capital market and the country as a whole,’ he said.

Additionally, he continued, this financial knowledge may enable students to make wise choices in their personal life, enabling them to successfully manage risks and secure their future.

Shahriar supports more depth, more instruments, and digitalization of the Bangladesh stock market in order to draw in both domestic and global investors.

Shahriar noted that Bangladesh has the potential to become a significant player in the shifting global economic order by luring foreign investments and propelling itself toward prosperity thanks to its expanding young population, the potential for a highly skilled and productive workforce, and a robust capital market.
