Investor Education Booklets

IPT worked with the Kiplinger Washington Editors to draft seven investor education booklets as part of IPT’s investor education and protection programs in public libraries. The investor education booklets tackle the basics of several key investor topics such as stocks and bonds. They are designed for the beginning and intermediate investor, as well as the long-term investor who never learned the basics. Each booklet includes a glossary of terms used in the booklet and information on the role of State Securities Regulators and how to contact their Regulator.
