This is our fifth annual Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy event which promotes awareness of the role and importance of investor education and protection.
The WFE’s annual campaign supports International Organization of Securities Commissions’ (“IOSCO”) World Investor Week (WIW) which seeks to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and protection.

A global network of exchanges around the world are coming together to demonstrate their support for this cause.
