Senior Investors

​​Retirement and growing older can pose unique challenges for Wisconsin seniors and their loved ones. This includes being at a higher risk for investment fraud. To help seniors grow and protect their nest eggs, we’ve compiled several investment tips and resources for senior investors that can assist them with keeping finances on track, provide ways to start conversations about their finances, and alert them to fraud commonly targeting senior investors.

Serve Our Seniors is an initiative of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) that provides a wealth of resources for senior investors and caregivers.
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that empowers people to choose how they live as they age.
