About the InvestRight blog

This blog is published by InvestRight, the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) new window investor education program. The BCSC is the independent provincial government new window agency responsible for protecting investors and supporting fair, efficient, and innovative capital markets. InvestRight provides BC investors with information and tools to help them avoid investment scams and choose suitable investments.

We want to know if you find the information and tools useful and we welcome your ideas about how we can improve them. We also want to hear any questions and challenges you have encountered and, of course, your success stories. With this information, we will do our best to improve our current program and build new tools to help you and other investors make the most of your investments.

We will also help you avoid investment scams and better understand the legitimate investments you make. This is not a forum for advice about what to invest in. But it can help you get to know yourself, your investments, and your advisor so you can better decide what’s suitable for you and what’s not.
