“On behalf of state and provincial securities regulators, I congratulate Robert Jackson and Hester Peirce on their confirmations to serve on the SEC. We look forward to working with Commissioners Jackson and Peirce, their fellow Commissioners Stein and Piwowar, and Chairman Clayton on our shared goal of protecting Main Street investors and the integrity of the securities markets they depend upon for a financially secure retirement.”

NASAA members are responsible for administering state and provincial securities laws that both serve to protect investors from fraud while also providing regulatory frameworks through which businesses can raise capital.
