Smart Investor Tips
Technology and Digital Finance	Artificial Intelligence	Fraud and Scam Prevention
• Take the time to be well informed when making investment decisions, even in today’s fast-paced investment environment. • Can distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate or even fraudulent sources of information online. • Engage with reputable platforms that have transparent practices and are properly registered. • Know how to distinguish between finfluencers who create content for educational purposes and those who act purely for commercial gain.	• Know that AI-powered tools are only as reliable as the data and assumptions behind them and should be considered only as a tool to use when making investment decisions in addition to your own careful research and understanding of your personal financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance. • Recognize that AI tools may generate results that appear accurate but can be misleading (“hallucinations”), particularly in customer-facing applications. • Value firms that uphold strong standards for data privacy and fairness.	• Check whether an investment professional is properly registered. • Research investment opportunities before investing and use only reliable sources of information. • Avoid “get rich quick” and “can’t lose” schemes. • Understand that the promise of “guaranteed” high return with little or no risk is a red flag. • Distrust anyone who pressures them into making hurried investment decisions. • Are suspicious of requests to wire money abroad and treat them as potential red flags for fraud.
