SEC and IOSCO regulators issue joint fraud bulletin for World Investor Week's tenth year
The SEC has issued a joint investor bulletin with domestic and international regulators to mark World Investor Week. This is an awareness exercise, not a rule change, but it signals where securities regulators collectively see retail fraud risk concentrating — relationship investment and impersonation scams — and is worth a few minutes for anyone tracking supervisory priorities on investor protection.
- The SEC issued the joint Investor Bulletin on October 5, 2026 as part of World Investor Week.
- US efforts were coordinated with the CFTC, FINRA, SIPC, NFA and NASAA.
- World Investor Week is an IOSCO-led global effort spanning six continents, now marking its tenth anniversary.
- The bulletin highlights rising relationship investment and impersonation scams and directs investors to Investor.gov.
