Agency's First-Ever Web Site Devoted Exclusively to Investor Education

By visiting www.investor.gov < http://www.investor.gov/ > , investors can access information in a user-friendly format that is specifically tailored to their needs.   The site includes sections specifically for those just getting started investing, for those saving for a child's education, and for those planning for retirement.  It also has a detailed “Seniors Care Package” section for senior citizens and caretakers.
