Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) January 18, 2012
The Evelyn Brust Financial Research and Education Foundation (“The Foundation”) is coordinating the seminars, which will be conducted by licensed investment counselors. The volunteers from The Foundation provide valuable information while remaining non-commercial; they may not disclose their professional firm affiliations nor promote specific investment products.
Banking and Securities Commissioner Fred Joseph urges consumers to consider attending one of the workshops, which are scheduled on a monthly basis. “Investing offers a means to achieve one’s long-term financial goals, but requires knowledge,” said Joseph. “An informed investor is a smart investor.”
These programs cover retirement planning, asset allocation, fraud prevention, risks in investing, tax-advantaged investing, and portfolio management. Attendees may bring a personal balance sheet and monthly budget for investment counselors to review and assist them in planning for a solid financial future.
Chambers of Commerce, professional associations, networking groups, non-profits and businesses of all sizes are encouraged to participate as program hosts. Two formats are available: a 30-minute resource overview and a 1-hour presentation. Both include excellent non-commercial printed resource material.
The Investor Education in Your Community® series is funded by a grant from the Investor Protection Trust (http://www.investorprotection.org). The IPT is a nonprofit organization devoted to investor education. Since 1993 the IPT has worked with the States to provide the independent, objective investor education needed by all Americans to make informed investment decisions.
