SEC to Spotlight Financial Planning and Resilience during World Investor Week 2022

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it will highlight the importance of long-term planning and investor resilience during World Investor Week (WIW) 2022, which takes place October 3-9. Planning for life’s unexpected challenges, being mindful of economic conditions, and creating an investment portfolio for the long term help investors set strong foundations to build their financial futures. This marks the sixth year of WIW, a global effort promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) that brings together regulators on six continents to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and protection. As in previous years, the SEC is serving as the national coordinator in the U.S., working with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, National Futures Association, and North American Securities Administrators Association.
