Canadians understand the importance of being informed investors, according to a new study commissioned by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA). However, they fall short when it comes to putting their knowledge into practice, making them more vulnerable to unsuitable or illegitimate investment opportunities.

According to the study, one-in-three respondents report having been approached with a fraudulent investment opportunity. While many (86%) understand that suspicious investment opportunities should be reported, few (14%) actually do so. Despite this experience with fraud, just over half (51%) of the respondents believe they are just as likely to be a victim of investment fraud as anyone else, while 47% believe fraud is a common occurrence. Canadians feel that investor education and banning rule-breakers should be high priorities for regulators.

These are just some of the findings of the CSA Investor Index, released to mark the launch of Investor Education Month in Oct...
