Teen Financial Insights

Meet the Author

Harshmit Verman

Harshmit Verman is a senior at Avon High School (CT) who is passionate about showcasing the power of financial literacy to teenagers. After acquiring an internship position at Milestone Asset Management Group through an internship program, he immersed himself in financial planning. To spread the knowledge he gained during his internship and to prevent many financial challenges people face, he was inspired to make an impact through educating people on financial literacy. Hence, he created Teen Financial Insights – a page consisting of original articles that can positively influence the people of the next generation. After interning with Milestone in the summer of 2023 and writing his debut article, Harshmit realized that the writing process is both empowering to teenagers and something that he loved doing and will continue. 

At Avon High School, Harshmit founded a business club that launched various programs, including the National Personal Finance Challenge, the Wharton Investment Competition, and a Women in Business Night event with keystone speakers. In addition to improving financial literacy for teenagers, Harshmit enjoys running cross country and track, playing the oboe, and spending time with friends and family.
