Modification date: 9 September 2026

World Investor Week (WIW) is a week-long, global campaign promoted by IOSCO to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and protection and highlight the various initiatives of securities regulators in these two critical areas. For a decade now, every October, IOSCO members and supporters on six continents have been providing a range of activities, such as launching investor-focused communications and services, promoting contests to increase awareness of investor education initiatives, organizing webinars and workshops.

WIW offers a unique opportunity for IOSCO members to work in collaboration with all investor education and protection stakeholders, at both the local and international level.

As part of World Investor Week, stock exchanges around the world participate in the annual World Federation of Exchanges' Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy event. This initiative promotes awareness of the vital role investor education and protection play in global markets.
