The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, created in 1934 after the Great Depression, was built to enforce securities laws, protect investors, and keep markets fair. Over the decades its mandate has grown, and today it oversees stock exchanges, brokers, rating agencies, and a long list of other financial players. The SEC is led by up to five commissioners, appointed by the president, and split into divisions that handle everything from corporate finance to enforcement and risk analysis. Its core mission comes down to three goals: protecting investors, ensuring orderly and efficient markets, and making it easier for companies to raise capital under clear rules.
