Background of the Securities and Exchange Commission
In the 1920s, companies in the securities market made huge profits by not providing relevant information to investors publicly, which led to the June 1929 stock market crash in the United States, and the interests of investors suffered huge losses.
Therefore, the U.S. Congress passed the Securities Law of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Law of 1934 respectively, and confirmed that the enterprise status and securities status should be fairly disclosed in securities trading, with the interests of investors as the first priority. American President franklin roosevelt (Franklin D.? Roosevelt appointed Joseph Kennedy as the first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In modern times, the Securities and Exchange Commission is responsible for implementing seven securities-related laws, including: 1933 Securities Law, 1934 Securities Exchange Law, 1939 trust deed Regulation, 1940 Investment Company Law, 1940 Investment Consulting Law and Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002.
