RE: NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE/ICI EDUCATION FOUNDATION INVESTOR
AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
______________________________________________________________________________
The ICI Education Foundation has announced a partnership with the National Urban League to
sponsor a national campaign in the African-American community to promote greater awareness about
investing.
The "Investing for Success" campaign, which will be launched in the fall, will include pilot
programs in five cities hosted by ICI member firms and National Urban League member affiliates. In
addition to investor education seminars, "Investing for Success" education materials will include a
website, a series of investor awareness brochures, and a video on an array of personal finance topics
such as securing a comfortable retirement and developing realistic investment expectations.
In response to the campaign announcement, SEC Chairman Levitt issued the attached release
commending the ICI Education Foundation and the National Urban League for their efforts in creating
the "Investing for Success" campaign and in providing accessible and useful information about investing.
Please contact me at (202) 326-5890 for further information or if you are interested in
sponsoring a program.
Julie Domenick
Executive Vice President
