Students are a group open to diverse information, but this openness has not been fully leveraged in investment activities. This study aims to determine the effect of investment knowledge and minimum capital on students' investment interest. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method, with data collected through questionnaires, processed using SPSS version 26, and analyzed with multiple linear regression, beginning with validity and reliability tests and classical assumption tests. The results of the study indicate that investment knowledge positively affects students' investment interest, whereas minimum capital has a negative effect. Partially, investment knowledge can increase students' interest in investing because a good understanding of investment can boost confidence in making financial decisions. At the same time, capital-related considerations remain a barrier to students starting to invest. The implications of this study underscore the importance of improving investment education and literacy through various learning media, training, and outreach so that students have a better understanding of investment, can utilize information effectively, and can make investment decisions more wisely, confidently, and in a more planned manner to support future financial management.
