Office of the Investor Advocate

The Office of the Investor Advocate, part of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is designed to represent the interests of individual investors. It provides guidance and support, helping investors understand their rights and the services available to them. The office also communicates investor concerns to the SEC, suggesting improvements in regulations and policies to enhance investor protection. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between individual investors and the regulatory body, ensuring that their voices are heard and considered in the decision-making process.
