The Informed Investor

The Department of Banking joined forces with AARP-Connecticut in the Campaign for Wise and Safe Investing, a national campaign whose goal is to provide investors and potential investors with research based investor education and protection and to increase awareness of fraudulent investment practices.

As part of this initiative, a series of investor education radio spots were aired on radio stations throughout the state.  These public service announcements provide information on a range of investment protection topics to help consumers make informed investment decisions.

Funding for The Informed Investor was made possible by a grant to AARP 
from the Investor Protection Trust.
