Securities Industry Regulations, 2026

These regulations establish comprehensive requirements for the registration, conduct, and oversight of securities market participants, including registered firms, individuals, marketplaces, and clearing facilities. They mandate specific obligations regarding solvency, regulatory capital, insurance, and the segregation and safekeeping of client assets. The document defines accredited investor thresholds, such as a one million dollar net worth or two hundred thousand dollar annual income, and sets out detailed rules for prospectus distributions, continuing disclosure by public issuers, and proxy solicitation. It also imposes strict standards on business continuity, outsourcing, and the prevention of insider trading and market misconduct.
