Investor education focuses on issues relevant to the education and information needs of individuals who participate or are considering participating, in the financial markets. In addition, investor education can also help investors better assess the relevance and suitability of investment advice.

Regulators across the globe have adopted investor education as a key strategy to enhance investor protection, promote investor confidence and foster investor engagement in financial planning and decision-making. The need for investor education came under the spot light after the global financial crisis in 2008 as investors were exposed to complex products posing multiple risks.
