Financial fraud: the AMF assesses the risks for Quebeckers
2026 Survey
As part of Fraud Prevention Month, the AMF sought to gain a deeper understanding of Quebeckers’ investment habits by finding out how they would react in a scenario in which they were presented with a financial offer that guaranteed a high return with no risk. The survey was also an opportunity to raise awareness of the red flags of investment opportunities that seem too good to be true.
The survey data was collected in February 2026 from 1,005 Québec residents aged 18 or older who responded in French or English to an on-line questionnaire. Based on the sample size, the results have a maximum margin of error of ± 3.1%, 19 times out of 20.
Using artificial intelligence to manage personal finances
2025 Survey
As part of Financial Literacy Month 2025, the AMF conducted an omnibus survey to better understand Quebeckers’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing their personal finances. It also sought insight into their financial education preferences by asking respondents how they prefer to learn, how much time they are willing to devote to financial education and what topics spark their interest.
The survey data was collected in mid-October 2025 from 1,010 Québec residents aged 18 or older who responded in French or English to an on-line questionnaire. Based on the sample size, the results have a maximum margin of error of ± 3.1%, 19 times out of 20.
