U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Forms
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a government agency responsible for protecting investors, maintaining fair and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation. Its main purposes are:
1. Investor Protection: The SEC works to ensure that investors have access to accurate and reliable information about securities and protect them from fraud, manipulation, and insider trading.
2. Market Regulation: The SEC enforces regulations to maintain fair and orderly markets. It oversees securities exchanges, brokers, dealers, investment advisers, and other market participants to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
3. Capital Formation: The SEC facilitates capital formation by providing a regulatory framework for companies to offer and sell securities to the public. It ensures that companies disclose relevant information to potential investors so they can make informed investment decisions.
4. Enforcement of Securities Laws: The SEC investigates and takes legal action against those who violate securities laws. It has the authority to bring civil lawsuits, impose fines, and pursue criminal cases for violations of federal securities laws.
In summary, the SEC's primary role is to protect investors, maintain market integrity, and promote capital formation in the U.S. securities market.
