Looking to better understand the changes coming this summer to Johns Hopkins' retirement plans? Want comprehensive advice on investing and money management? Whatever your experience level, the university has a range of resources to help you achieve your financial goals.

Increase your financial literacy

While there's no "right" way to invest, financial literacy equips us with the knowledge and skills we need to put our money to work for us. JHU has partnered with Marsh McLennan Agency, an independent investment adviser, which is offering opportunities to help you learn more about retirement planning and investing. Tailored to JHU's retirement plans and provided at no cost to you, MMA's offerings can help you feel more comfortable with your finances and more confident in your decision-making.
