Submitted by nsscadmin on Tue, 06/01/2021 - 10:00

June is Seniors Month and throughout the month on our website and social media channels we’ll be sharing information on investing focusing on topics relevant for seniors and caregivers.

On our website all our investor education materials that have been developed for seniors can be found in one place on our Investing Information for Seniors webpage.

On this webpage you’ll find basic investing information on a variety of topics including, investment accounts, investment fees, registration, investment risk, financial elder abuse, and more.

You’ll also find our online guide: Safe Investing for Seniors: Recognizing fraud and financial elder abuse and our two printable information sheets:

Protecting Seniors from Investment Fraud

Financial Elder Abuse: Know the Signs, Know What to Do

There are also links to our Financial Elder Abuse Video Series. This three-part series includes:

Part 1: Are you or a loved one vulnerable to financial elder abuse?

Part 2: What are the warning signs of financial elder abuse?

Part 3: Start the conversation. Talking about financial elder abuse.

During Seniors Month we’ll also be premiering a new video series for seniors and caregivers entitled, “What does financial elder abuse look like?” We have several materials and videos that explain what financial elder abuse is and how to potentially spot it, but this new video series uses real life examples to show how seniors can become victims of financial elder abuse. The first part of the series debuted today on our YouTube Channel. Watch for Part 2 on June 8 and Part 3 on June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

On our Twitter Feed and LinkedIn page we will be sharing evergreen content for seniors on topics that are relevant to investors as they get older. This includes information on RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs, Annuities, and what happens to your investments after you pass away. We’ll also be sharing information on protecting yourself and your loved ones from financial elder abuse, and how to approach someone you think may be a victim of financial elder abuse.
