SEC Coordinates with Global Financial Regulators to Raise Fraud Awareness During World Investor Week

The Securities and Exchange Commission, in coordination with other U.S. and global financial regulators, today issued a joint investor bulletin as part of World Investor Week (WIW). The bulletin encourages investors to be resilient in changing economic conditions and to be vigilant in the face of rising relationship investment and impersonation scams. World Investor Week is a global effort by the International Organization of Securities Commissions to bring together regulators across six continents to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and investor protection. This year marks WIW’s tenth anniversary. The SEC, coordinating U.S. efforts, worked with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Securities Investor Protection Corporation, National Futures Association, and North American Securities Administrators Association to issue the joint Investor Bulletin.
