Investor Education Resources
The Division of Securities seeks to educate Coloradans to be smart investors, financially literate, and to identify and report potential investment fraud. This section of our website provides resources to specific types of investors including seniors, military families, those victimized by affinity fraud, students, and general financial literacy. We provide education through press releases, consumer alerts, presentations, webinars, workshops/events, and publication materials. Please feel free to contact sarah.strasser@state.co.us if you would like to request any additional resources or a virtual presentation.
Senior $afe
Read about our Senior$afe initiative, aimed at reducing financial fraud and exploitation of senior citizens.
This program seeks to increase reporting of suspected abuse and exploitation to regulators and service agencies through a two-pronged approach. First, educate seniors and their families about the risk factors of abuse from scam artists and fraudsters. Then train bank tellers, investment advisers, and sales representatives on how to spot the red flags of abuse and exploitation, and also provide the proper tools to report.
