The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy announced that its theme for April’s National Financial Capability Month is, “Investing for everyone.” All month long, SEC leadership and staff will promote the free tools and resources available on Investor.gov and participate in investor education events across the country with various audiences, including students, underrepresented communities, older investors, and the military.

Some of the SEC’s latest resources to teach the importance of financial capability and provide tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud, include:

• April’s Financial Capability Month Investing Quiz;
• A high school classroom activity for teachers to use to enhance the educational content of the HoweyTrade Investment Program Avoid Fraud Videos;
• Investor Alert: “Exercise Caution with Crypto Asset Securities”; and
• An article from OIEA Director Lori Schock, “Unsolicited Investment Pitches: Don't Answer! Hang Up! Delete!”
