What are the regulatory goals of security laws?

The regulatory goals or purpose of the securities laws include:

  • preventing manipulation of the securities market;
  • full disclosure of material information to stakeholders;
  • preventing fraud; and
  • leveling the playing field between insiders of a company and investors.

Each of these regulatory goals are not independent. Fairness and the prevention of deceit underline each objective.
