SEC Promotes Teacher Investment Outreach

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced several teacher investment outreach efforts in connection with its Teachers Initiative. These initiatives include the launch of a podcast series for public school educators, nationwide events for teachers, and the RISE 2.0 of California summit in Los Angeles on Oct. 17. The outreach efforts advance the Commission’s commitment to protecting America’s educators when they invest in the securities markets by informing educators about the importance of savings and investing, researching investment products and financial professionals before investing, and identifying the red flags of investment fraud. The SEC's San Francisco Regional Office launched SECrets to Investing, a podcast series for public school employees designed to inform them about retirement planning and the unique options available to them as public school educators, investment basics and avoiding fraud.
