From an ordinary investors…. financial advocates were born…..aiming to help their Kababayan’s na mag ipon at maghanda para sa kinabukasan ng kanilang mga pamilya
PSMIK (Pinoy Stock Market Investors in South Korea) founded by Marlon Lauron on the last quarter of 2013 as a group page in the social media Facebook, tackling merely about investing in Philippine Stock Market.
As it gained curiosity among the Filipinos asking about how to invest, they then associated with another group… TGFI (The Global Filipino Investors), having the same advocacy, they outlined trainings and seminars na hindi lang focus sa pag aaral ng stock market, they also introduced mutual funds at iba pang investment instruments kasama na ang entrepreneurship.
By 1st quarter of 2015, PSMIK was then reorganized initiated by the same founder, through the helping hand of Jason Sigfred Seril and Jack Rusl.
….and FLAN (Financial Literacy Advocates Network) was deep-seated.
