Hong Kong Money Month 2026 (2 – 31 March 2026)

The IFEC launches its flagship campaign Hong Kong Money Month 2026 (HKMM) in March, featuring the energised new look of the IFEC Chin Family. The IFEC organises a series of promotions and events under the theme “Invest in Yourself for Greater Rewards” / 「投資自己 回報最高」, emphasizing that improving personal financial knowledge is the most valuable investment, encouraging lifelong skills in investing and financial management, and scam prevention. It also unites stakeholders to offer diverse learning resources and activities for the public.


Throughout March, the IFEC is launching a multimedia campaign featuring a new television commercial broadcast across multiple platforms - TV, radio, online, social media platforms, bus body and outdoor billboards; alongside the IFEC's digital tools and resources on investing, financial management and scam prevention.

The key campaign messages include:

  • Download the IFEC Money Tracker” App to manage your finances wisely.

  • Protect your assets and don’t trust scammers.

  • Be a smart investor by continuing to learn from the IFEC website and its digital resources on prudent investing and financial management.

The energised new look of the Chin Family will be unveiled in the TV commercial. It will raise public awareness to take positive actions on their financial management journey, motivating individuals to adopt the proper attitude and behaviour towards investing and financial management as a lifelong investment. Members of the IFEC Chin Family resonate with the various segments of the community, strengthening our connection with individuals at different life stages, effectively delivering essential investor and financial education messages.
