INVESTOR EDUCATION
State and provincial securities regulators have a long tradition of protecting investors through financial education. Investing means putting your money to work so it can make more money. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme and it’s not gambling. Being an informed investor means having a plan and understanding each of your investments. Whether you’re new to investing or already investing, NASAA and its members provide a variety of online investor education resources for investors of all ages.
