Investor Education Month and World Investor Week!

Submitted by nsscadmin on Mon, 10/02/2017 - 10:48

The first week of October is a busy week for investor education. Not only is October Investor Education Month, but Oct 2-9 is also the first annual World Investor Week.

Throughout World Investor Week keep an eye on our Twitter feed and our blog for investment information you can use on choosing an adviser, the client-adviser relationship, robo-advisers, the new binary options ban and more.

We’ve also chosen October to launch our new Student Connections campaign. If you’re a student in high school or a post-secondary institution in Nova Scotia interested in learning more about investing we want to talk to you. We’re also interested in connecting with teachers, professors and other educators to get our message out to Nova Scotia youth. Keep watch here and on our Twitter feed later this month for more information on the Student Connections campaign.

Also in October, the CSA will be releasing their latest Investor Index. Do you know how much Canadians know about investing? That’s just one question that will be answered in the Index. Look for Canadian investor information to be released with the Index later this month.
