March 15, 2023 -- The Colorado Division of Securities will host a booth at the Colorado Older Adult Financial Justice Symposium on March 15th, 2023 from 8:30 am- 4:00 pm at the Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging at the University of Denver. The Division will be in-person to provide educational resources, as well as information about the ways the Division investigates securities fraud and refers cases for prosecution. We hope you will stop by if you are at the event.
Protection of senior investors has always been a top priority for the Division of Securities. The Federal Trade Commission reported that that older adults have lost $147 million in investment scams in 2021, up 213 percent from 2020. Older adult financial exploitation threatens the financial security of families across America.
