November 3, 2026 · 34 min

Show notes

Capital is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, funding everything from businesses of all sizes to scientific breakthroughs and infrastructure. With markets moving faster than ever and new products, players, and risks emerging daily, FINRA is modernizing its regulatory framework to keep pace, all while keeping investor protection at the center.

On this episode, Joe Sheirer, Senior Vice President, Corporate Financing, and Gaby Aguero, Vice President, Corporate Financing, explore recent amendments to FINRA rules, expanded IPO access, a recently approved proposal around projected returns in marketing materials, and the data FINRA is publishing to help the entire ecosystem operate more effectively.
