The Lion's Share of Investor Education Resources: Texas State Securities Board Launches New Website
The Texas State Securities Board has launched a newly-updated and revised Investor Education Website, www.TexasInvestorEd.org. The new site is easier to navigate with up-to-date investor information and resources, financial calculators, and more. Using the website, individuals may get a background check on an investment professional, learn about unsuitable investments or life settlement contracts, file a complaint, and read the latest news and bulletins. Be sure to check out the "Resources" page for free educational books and brochures available for download.
The State Securities Board regulates the securities industry in Texas. The Agency registers securities offered or sold in Texas, oversees the firms and individuals selling securities or providing investment advice to Texas, and enforces the Securities Act through criminal, civil, and administrative actions. Through the Investor Education initiative, the agency helps Texans become informed investors. For more information on the agency, see the official website at: http://www.ssb.state.tx.us/.
