Free Seminars to Provide Public with Valuable Investing Information
News Release
For Immediate Release
The Manitoba Securities Commission will be hosting free public seminars for residents in Brandon and surrounding areas.
Representatives from the Commission, along with industry professionals, will be in Brandon to talk to the public about Investment Scams, Choosing a Financial Advisor and the Public Complaint Process.
"Over 70% of Manitobans own investments of one type or another," says Don Murray, Chair of the Manitoba Securities Commission. "People invest for a number of reasons, but many, if not most, invest as a means of providing for their retirement years. Whether in the form of stocks, bonds or mutual funds, the importance of these investments demands that people learn as much as they can about the products and the people they are dealing with. These seminars will tell average investors what to look for in an advisor, how to protect themselves from con artists and what steps to take if they feel they have been treated unfairly. There is something of value in these sessions for anyone who is an investor or is thinking of becoming one."
The seminars begin at 6:30 PM and will be held at the Royal Oak Inn in Brandon. People can register for one, two or all three sessions. For more information or to register call toll free 1-800-655-5244 or visit our web site at www.msc.gov.mb.ca.
The Manitoba Securities Commission is a special operating agency of the provincial government responsible for regulating trading in securities within Manitoba.
