Abstract

This study verified the level of knowledge of students of Administration, Actuarial Sciences, Accounting and Economics, which make up the business area of the Applied Social Sciences Center of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), regarding the types of investment existing in the financial market. To this end, research was carried out in the methodology, using a questionnaire administered in person to students in the last period of the four courses, obtaining a sample of 102 participants. Data analysis was carried out online using graphs and tables. As a result, a similarity was observed between all the courses investigated, in which they obtain greater knowledge in investments in fixed income products best known on the market such as: CBD, savings and Tesouro Direto. While the most well-known variable income investment among students was shares. This demonstrates a lack of knowledge among other types of financial investments.
