It's no secret that the investment market is in turmoil. Investors are becoming increasingly wary due to the highly visible losses at the number of very public financial institutions. There are, though, a number of safety nets for consumers/investors, most notably the SEC's “Consumer Protection Rule” and the Securities Investment Protection Act.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to help you understand the consumer protection laws and how they impact your firm and your customers. The panel will present their findings, which include “Best Practices” in a two-hour Live webcast.
