Investment protection

Investment protection

Investment protection is a broad economic term referring to any form of guarantee or insurance that investments made will not be lost, this may be through fraud or otherwise. For example, the Investment Protection Bureau is a New York State legal body which is charged, according to the "New York State Securities Law" (the Martin Act), to protect the public from fraud by monitoring and limiting investment. Most other protection is of this form, monitoring brokers and comparable individuals, and legally preventing them from misusing investment.
