It administers and enforces securities laws, registers market participants, reviews and approves filings, investigates misconduct, and offers investor guidance to keep markets fair. It operates as a provincial regulator within a national system, focusing on Alberta while coordinating with other provinces to harmonize rules. Its goal is to maintain a fair and efficient capital market in Alberta and to strengthen market integrity by aligning Alberta’s rules with other provinces.
