Investors are being urged to stay alert to potential scams.
The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority makes the warning as it supports a global campaign to highlight the importance of investor education and protection.
World Investor Week 2026 is promoted by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to build understanding of current and emerging topics impacting investors around the world. This year’s themes focus on Investor Resilience and Scams Awareness under the tagline: Invest in Your Future, Protect It Today.
Bettina Roth, FSA Chief Executive Officer, said: “Participating in World Investor Week highlights the support that’s available to help people make informed choices about their finances.
“This year’s WIW themes reflect the need for investors to remain resilient in changing market conditions, to question investment information they encounter online, and to stay alert to increasingly sophisticated scams.”
The campaign runs from October 5-11 and builds on previous initiatives that have raised awareness of matters such as crypto assets, sustainable finance, investing online, and the prevention of fraud.
Protecting consumers is one of the Authority’s regulatory objectives, complementing its work to reduce financial crime and maintain confidence in the Island’s financial services sector.
The authority publishes information on its website and via its social media channels to alert consumers in the Isle of Man to potential scams and bogus websites.
