How the Fed Broke Silicon Valley Bank

Was ist Securities Law?

Securities Law regulates the sale, purchase, and issuance of securities. Securities are investments in a company, such as stocks or bonds, that offer the investor a share of the company's profits or debt repayment. Securities laws aim to protect investors from fraud and ensure that companies issuing securities provide accurate and complete information about their financial status. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the primary regulator of securities law in the United States. This field of law involves various transactions, such as initial public offerings (IPOs) and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Penalties for violating securities law can be severe, including fines and imprisonment.
