2 INTRODUCTION NASD is dedicated to protecting investors and helping to en market integrity. In order to meet this challenge, NASD serves individual investors with a variety of investor education programs. NASD therefore felt it was important to obtain an objective, third-party meament of investor literacy the understanding ordinary investors have of market principles, instruments, organizations and regulations in order to better understand levels of investor knowledge and to identify opportunities to improve education initiatives. On behalf of NASD, Applied Research & Consulting (ARC) conducted a nationallyprojectable survey of individual investors across the United States. Qualified respondents were adult (21-69) investment decision-makers who performed at least one stock, bond, or mutual fund transaction between October 2002 and early April The questionnaire consisted of 55 questions and was administered online from April 11-18, A total of 1086 respondents completed the survey. The margin of error was +/ 3% at a 9 confidence level. This report summarizes the following: Profile of investors who participated in the survey, Investor confidence and investor literacy self-perception, and Investor literacy on 10 basic market questions, including results by investor subgroups. 2
