Module 6 : Topic 2 Notes

Topic 2 : Regulation of the Securities Industry
 ______________________________________________________________
Securities industry  law
The legislation which affects the securities industry :
• Securities Commission Act 1993 (SCA)
• Securities Industry Act 1983 (SIA)
• Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act 1991
• Futures Industry Act 1993
• Companies Act 1965 (CA)
______________________________________________________________
Why have specific laws
The first objective of securities regulation is to establish a capital market in
which investors can have confidence.
The functions of regulation are to
• define key features of the financial system and the role of the securities
market institutions
• steer market participants towards the adoption of best practices
• create disincentives against behaviour that would be detrimental to the
market.
The objective pursued by regulators are therefore, market integrity, fairness and
efficiency.
______________________________________________________________
Regulation of stock  market
The recognition of the need for a securities regulator to ensure investor protection
and market integrity is embedded in the SCA, under which SC is established.
______________________________________________________________
Merit-based regulation
The framework currently applied by the SC includes both merit-based and
disclosure-based regulation.
Section 32(4) of the SCA mandates that all proposals involving issues or offers of
securities be subject to the SC’s prior approval.
______________________________________________________________
Disclosure-based regulation
The role of the regulator under disclosure-based regulation would focus more on
the protection of potential investors by ensuring that the information disclosed is
sufficient, true and timely.
In this capacity, the regulator has an obligation to insist that every issue of
offering of securities is accompanied by full disclosure of all material information
required to form an investment decision.
Disclosure-based regulation puts the burden of telling the whole truth on the
seller. Any information found to be false or misleading and any material
omissions of information would subject the promoters and their advisers to stiff
penalties.
