About FINRA
Every investor in America relies on one thing: fair financial markets. To protect investors and ensure the market’s integrity, FINRA—the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority—is a government-authorized not-for-profit organization that oversees U.S. broker-dealers. We work every day to ensure that everyone can participate in the market with confidence. Every investor receives the basic protections they deserve; anyone who sells a securities product has been tested, qualified and licensed; every securities product advertisement used is truthful, and not misleading; any securities product sold to an investor is suitable for that investor's needs; and
investors receive complete disclosure about the investment product before purchase.
We Play a Big Role
FINRA is authorized by Congress to protect America’s investors by making sure the broker-dealer industry operates fairly and honestly. We oversee more than 624,000 brokers across the country—and analyze billions of daily market events.
We use innovative AI and machine learning technologies to keep a close eye on the market and provide essential support to investors, regulators, policymakers and other stakeholders.

FINRA Pride Alliance
The 'FINRA Pride Alliance' ('Pride Alliance') contributes to FINRA's diversity and inclusion efforts by providing a safe and welcoming forum that increases awareness, education and visibility; fosters recruitment, retention and professional development; and promotes equitable policies and practices for FINRA's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees and their allies.
The Pride Alliance supports and provides programs, events and initiatives that demonstrate the value that LGBT employees and their allies bring to FINRA, illustrate the richness and depth of FINRA’s multicultural and diversified workforce, and help establish FINRA as an employer of choice.
