Are you doing everything to protect yourself as an investor?

Tonya Fleming, Manager, Private Markets & Innovation of Alberta Securities Commission, will walk us though best practices so you can learn how to safeguard your investments.

Securities law forms an umbrella of "rules" around capital raising that many small businesses are unaware of. There are opportunities for small businesses to accept capital from new investors following rules specifically designed for these groups. As they are new initiatives of the Alberta Securities Commission, these rules are not well known.
