Benjamin F. Edwards is proud to support October’s World Investor Week, a global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of investor education, protection, and informed and responsible investing.
We’ve seen an explosion of fraudsters, get-rich-quick schemes, “finfluencers,” and celebrities using social media to give so-called investment advice. Given this trend and the billions of dollars lost on fraudulent investments, it’s essential to recognize the value of having a sound financial plan and working with trusted advisors.
Protect yourself and be aware. For guidance, view the Securities and Exchange Commission’s educational video to see what actual scams look like. Then, test your knowledge with this quiz.
