Celebrating World Investor Week 2022
Become a smart investor
A smart investor recognizes the warning signs of investment fraud
A smart investor avoids "get rich quick" and "can't lose" schemes; if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
A smart investor considers whether an investment's stated approach to sustainable finance matches the investor's investment goals, objectives, risk tolerance and preferences
A smart investor plans for life’s unexpected challenges with budgeting strategies to manage risk, reduce the impact of inflation, and avoid high-interest debt.
A smart investor never feels rushed and ignores over-the-top sales pitches and pressure to invest right on the spot
A smart investor reviews an investment's disclosure documents to see how it weighs various ESG or sustainable finance factors.
