The results of the path coefficient analysis show that Financial Literacy (X₁) positively and significantly influences students' investment interest in Bengkulu City (Y), with a path coefficient of 0.478, t-statistic 6.586 (>1.96), and p-value 0.000 (<0.05). Financial efficacy (X2) positively and significantly influences students' investment interest in Bengkulu City (Y), with a path coefficient of 0.119, t-statistic 5.872 (>1.96), and p-value 0.000 (<0.05). Technological development (X3) positively and significantly influences students' investment interest in Bengkulu City (Y), with a path coefficient of 0.323, t-statistic 5.626 (>1.96), and p-value 0.000 (<0.05). Simultaneously, the three independent variables (X₁, X₂, X₃) influence the investment interest of students in Bengkulu City (Y) with an R-squared value of 0.840 and an Adjusted R-squared value of 0.837.
