I’m Emmanuella, I’m 16, and I’m excited to be here!” This immediately piqued Vero’s interest. Emmanuella starts off by sharing some background about herself.

  • What actions did her mother take to familiarize her and her siblings with investing?
  • When did the concept of financial independence gain significance for her, and why does it resonate with her so deeply?

  • What is the current composition of her portfolio, and how does she see it progressing as she works toward financial independence?
  • What types of stocks does she select, and what are her reasons for those choices?
