HAMILTON, BERMUDA –The eighth annual celebration of World Investor Week started today with a public education campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of investor education, protection and financial literacy. The Bermuda Monetary Authority (Authority or BMA) launched the week-long campaign as part of a global initiative to empower investors and provide them with access to valuable resources and learning opportunities. The initiative takes place from 7-13 October and is designed to promote responsible investing and financial well-being.
As in previous years, the campaign focuses on three key themes: Technology and Digital Finance, Crypto Assets and Sustainable Finance, complimented by other topics such as fraud and scam prevention, the basics of investing and investor resilience. The BMA’s participation in World Investor Week is led by the International Organisation of Securities Commission (IOSCO). Additionally, the 2024 campaign explores how technology is changing how financial services operate with a focus on trending issues and topics that impact investors worldwide. The week also offers an opportunity to review the smart investor habits and tips featured daily on the Authority’s website and social media channels.
