SEBI
The Securities and Exchange Board of India regulates stock exchanges, brokers, mutual funds and listed companies. It protects investors, approves IPOs, investigates fraud and sets rules on disclosures and trading.
Why It Matters
Every investment product you can buy on an Indian exchange operates under SEBI’s rules.
In India
SEBI’s studies showing that over 90% of individual futures and options traders lose money led to tighter rules on derivatives trading.
