Consumer Connection: Questions to Consider Before Investing in the Stock Market
By Sonya Sellmeyer, Consumer Advocacy Officer for the Iowa Insurance Division
The new year brings opportunities for improvement to your financial health. Investing in the stock market can be an effective way to build wealth. The historic average stock market return is 10% annually before inflation, but investing is geared toward long-term goals and involves risks. Being financially literate is the foundation to investing, growing, and protecting your assets.
The North American Securities Administrators Association recommends asking four questions before you start investing:
No Surprises Act
Starting in 2022, the No Surprises Act will protect consumers from many types of surprise bills. Click here for information about what the No Surprises Act means for you.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also has additional information available at https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Post-Disaster Claim Guide
Homeowners and renters insurance can help you recover from damage, loss, and liability related to your dwelling. Consumers can download and review the Post-Disaster Claim Guide for information that may assist with understanding their policy, steps to take to prepare for a claim, and what to do in the event of a claim. The guide also has charts for keeping track of claim related items and a home inventory.
Security Freeze for Credit Reports
Many Iowans are concerned about identity theft. One tool to help stop identity theft is placing a security freeze on your credit report. This restricts access to your credit information which scammers use to open accounts in your name.
A security freeze does not affect your credit score or prevent you from getting your free annual credit report. A security freeze will still allow certain entities to have access to your credit information, such as:
- Existing creditors or debt collectors acting on their behalf
- Government agencies in response to court or administrative orders, subpoenas or search warrants.
Employment

Find a Licensed Agent
Insurance is complicated, and people’s insurance needs are very individualized. There are lots of options to choose from, so talking with a licensed insurance agent (also called an “insurance producer”) can be a big help to make sure you, your family and your assets are properly protected.
