Financial Facts

Make an Informed Decision


In many ways, an investor is not just a consumer but a party to a legal contract. Both the vendor and purchaser of a financial service have rights and responsibilities. The"Bill of Rights" is designed to assist you in making an informed decision before committing your hard earned money. It is not intended to be exhaustive. Should you need further information about a particular type of investment, it is recommended you contact the appropriate organization.

Advertising Honesty

Many people first learn about investment opportunities through advertising in a newspaper or magazine, on radio, television, the internet, or by mail. Telephone canvassing is also regarded as a form of advertising. In almost every area of investment activity, misleading or incorrect advertising is against the law and subject to penalties.

Remember that advertising is able to convey only limited information, and that only the most attractive features are often highlighted. So it is never wise to invest solely on the basis of an advertisement. The only correct purpose of advertising is to call your attention to a product and encourage you to obtain more information.

Accurate Product Information

Before you undertake an investment, you have the right to obtain information about the investment. This includes information that gives you all all the key facts about the investment, including the major factors which could affect its performance.
