World Investor Week (WIW) is a
week-long global campaign promoted by International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) to raise awareness about the importance of investor
education and protection and highlight the various initiatives of securities
regulators in these two critical areas. During the first week of October, IOSCO
securities regulators and other IOSCO members in six continents are providing a
range of activities such as launching investor-focused communications and
services, promoting contests to increase awareness of investor education
initiatives, organizing workshops and conferences, and conducting
local/national campaigns in their own jurisdictions.
