Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2022-2026

The SEC oversees our over $100 trillion capital markets, representing 40 percent of the capital markets worldwide. The SEC pursues our three-part mission: to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.

Our Strategic Plan focuses on three goals that advance our mission:

• 1. Protect the investing public against fraud, manipulation, and misconduct;
• 2. Develop and implement a robust regulatory framework that keeps pace with evolving markets, business models, and technologies; and
• 3. Support a skilled workforce that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive and is fully equipped to advance agency objectives.

We can’t take our leadership in capital markets for granted. Technology and business models always are changing, and it is important for our agency to evolve in kind. Even gold medalists need to practice and hone their craft, especially to ensure that they stay ahead of the other nations who wish to surpass them.

We can support the public through continuing to invest in our talented staff and update our agency’s rules and approaches. Through the goals laid out in this Strategic Plan, we will continue to bring a skilled and steady hand to the capital markets of a changing world.
