The Securities and Exchange Commission released its strategic plan for fiscal years 2022 to 2026 on Wednesday, laying out its goals to protect investors from fraud, sustain a strong and relevant regulatory framework, and support a diverse workforce.
"Our capital markets touch all Americans' lives, whether they're saving for the future, borrowing for a mortgage, taking out an auto loan, or working for a company that raises money from the public," SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a news release. "That's why it is critical that the SEC continue to evolve and modernize our rulesets as technology, business models, and our markets change. Our strategic plan will help guide these efforts and advance our work to protect American families, keep pace with ever-changing times, and invest in our talented staff."
