How can investor trust be earned and maintained? This task can be accomplished by providing adequate information disclosure. Ordinary investors do not have access to specific information about company operations, financing, and future plans. Instead, they must rely on information disclosure and announcements by those companies.

The SEC adopts new rules and regulations when necessary to improve the level and flow of information.
