financial industry regulatory authority  

Définition

  • The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is a private, independent membership organization through which brokerage firms and securities exchanges develop, promulgate, and enforce regulatory standards so as to operate fairly and efficiently in the United States, and to safeguard the interests of investors. It is “dedicated to investor protection and market integrity through effective and efficient regulation of the securities industry.” It discharges this mission by (1) validating qualifications of sellers of security products through testing and licensing, (2) ensuring that advertisements for securities products are truthful and not misleading, (3) aligning promotional and sales activities for securities to suitability of investors' needs, and (4) promoting a regime of disclosure so that investors receive all relevant information they require prior to purchasing an investment.
