investor protection
Financial participant safeguards
Investor protection refers to laws, regulations, and mechanisms designed to safeguard people who put money into securities, funds, or other financial instruments.
These measures guard against fraud, manipulation, and unfair practices by brokers, companies, or markets.
The SEC's primary mission is investor protection.
Strong investor protection typically requires disclosure of material information, prohibits insider trading, and provides remedies when investors are harmed.
The term also describes the broader goal of maintaining market integrity and public confidence in financial systems.
