The Federal Securities & Investments Commission (FSIC) is an independent federal regulatory agency in Nouvelle Alexandrie responsible for protecting investors, maintaining fair and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation. Created as part of the New Prosperity Plan economic reforms in 1692 AN, the FSIC was established by merging the former Federal Securities Regulatory Authority and the Financial Consumer Protection Office to provide comprehensive oversight of securities markets and financial consumer protection.
The FSIC has broad authority to regulate securities exchanges, broker-dealers, investment advisers, mutual funds, and other securities market participants. It also enforces consumer financial protection laws related to investment products and services, promoting transparency and fairness in financial markets while combating fraud and market manipulation.
The Commission is governed by nine commissioners appointed by the President of the Government and confirmed by the Federal Assembly, with no more than three commissioners from the same political party. Each commissioner serves a five AN year term, with terms staggered to ensure continuity.
