SEC Encourages Investors to Choose Their Information Sources Wisely During World Investor Week

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced it will encourage investors to choose their information sources wisely during World Investor Week (WIW) 2024, which takes place Oct. 7-13. Whether investors are researching an investment professional or deciding which investments help them meet their financial goals, it’s important for them to get their information from unbiased and trusted sources. This marks the eighth year of WIW, a global effort promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions that brings together regulators on six continents to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and investor 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, Securities Investor Protection Corporation, National Futures Association, and North American Securities Administrators Association.
