The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has relaunched its investor education website, GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca, with new artificial intelligence (AI) tools and accessibility features. The revamped website incorporates design elements informed by behavioral insights to help users make better investment decisions.
As one of Canada’s most popular financial education websites, GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca provides free, unbiased articles, informative videos, and interactive tools to assist individuals in making informed investment choices. The site’s latest update introduces innovative technologies, such as AI and behavioral science tools, to help users translate their investment knowledge into action.
The new features of GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca include enhanced accessibility. The internal development team ensured compliance with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WGAC 2.2) before they were set to take effect in 2023. The redevelopment focused on areas such as ease of navigation, availability of information in various multimedia formats, graphic design, animations, color palettes, and screen-reader accessibility.
To further assist investors, the OSC’s popular e-newsletter, Investor News, will feature articles and links to educational resources available on the updated GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca. Additionally, investor resources can be accessed through the OSC’s social media channels and online outreach events held across the province.
The OSC aims to protect investors from unfair practices and foster fair and competitive capital markets. They encourage investors to check the registration of individuals or companies offering investment opportunities and to review the OSC investor materials provided on their website.
The relaunch of GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca with AI tools and accessibility features showcases the OSC’s commitment to being a trusted source of information for both investors and advisors. With these advancements, individuals can now benefit from innovative technologies and behavioral insights, empowering them to make more informed decisions along their investing journey.
