The document states the bulletin encourages investors to be resilient amid changing economic conditions and vigilant against rising relationship investment and impersonation scams, and notes that World Investor Week, organized globally by the International Organization of Securities Commissions, is marking its tenth anniversary this year. SEC Chairman Paul S.
