Indonesia is one of the most populous countries in the world. Gen Z dominates 27.49% of the total population, with 74,93 million compared to the general population of 270 million. This data shows that development activities in Indonesia will be indirectly influenced by the contribution of Gen Z. One indicator of national development is the level of financial literacy. The financial literacy level of Gen Z is considered unsatisfactory. Most Gen Z are students. As agents of change, students are expected to bring about greater change. However, several studies show that students still have a low level of financial literacy. Based on the explanation above, this community service activity is urgently needed to provide information and education to Gen Z students in the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. This activity aims to help participants gain a deeper understanding of investment theory, enabling them to enhance their financial literacy. The community service was conducted through lectures, discussions, and simulation exercises. The results show that there was an increase in understanding and interest in investing.
