Empowering Investors. Protecting Futures.
World Investor Week (WIW) is a week-long global initiative promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and investor protection. Every year, this worldwide event brings together securities regulators, stock exchanges, investor associations, and financial institutions across six continents.
During this week, IOSCO members and supporters lead a wide range of investor-focused communications, services, contests, and workshops to highlight various initiatives in these two critical areas. WIW offers a unique opportunity for IOSCO members to collaborate with investor education and protection stakeholders at both the local and international levels, empowering individuals with the knowledge, confidence, and tools needed to make informed, responsible, and secure investment decisions.
