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.

Artificial intelligence is giving fraudsters powerful new tools, like deepfakes, voice cloning, and synthetic identities that are harder than ever to detect. The technology is moving fast, but the underlying playbook hasn't changed: urgency, emotional manipulation, and pressure to act before you think.
On this episode, Christine Kieffer, Senior Vice President of Investor Education and President of the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, and Mayur Patel, Director, Financial Crimes Intelligence, Strategic Intelligence, explore how AI is reshaping the fraud landscape, what FINRA is seeing from its unique position at the center of the markets, and what investors and member firms can do to stay ahead of these threats.

If you've ever tried to day trade stocks, you've probably run into the requirement to keep at least $25,000 in your brokerage account just to trade actively. For more than two decades, that threshold, and the Pattern Day Trader rule behind it, governed how investors could access margin for day trading. But markets have changed dramatically since 2001, and earlier this year, FINRA replaced the Pattern Day Trader rule with a modern, risk-based framework under FINRA Rule 4210—the Intraday Margin Standard.
On this episode, Racquel Russell, Director of Capital Markets Policy and Head of the Office of Financial and Operational Risk Policy, and James Barry, Senior Director, Credit Regulation, tell the story behind that change: why the old rules existed, why they stopped working, and what the new framework means for investors and member firms.

The threats facing the securities industry are evolving fast—and no single firm or regulator has the full picture alone. That's the idea behind FINRA's Financial Intelligence Fusion Center, or FIFC, launched earlier this year as part of the FINRA Forward initiative to strengthen cybersecurity and fraud prevention across the industry. The FIFC is a bi-directional intelligence sharing hub where FINRA and member firms collaborate to protect investors, members, and the integrity of our capital markets.
On this episode, David Ring, Senior Director, Strategic & Threat Intelligence, and Kerri Provenza, Senior Director, Member Firm Experience, discuss why the center was created, what's happened since launch, and how members are already benefiting from timely, actionable intelligence tailored to the broker-dealer landscape. They also share early successes, lessons learned, and what's ahead, including how the FIFC is evolving based on direct feedback from member firms.

As a self-regulatory organization, FINRA doesn't operate in a vacuum. Our effectiveness depends on understanding what is happening in the industry, hearing directly from our members, and translating that feedback into meaningful action. This engagement is a two-way street, and members might not realize just how many opportunities exist to make their voices heard.
On this episode, Kayte Toczylowski, Senior Vice President, Member Firm Experience, discusses the many channels available for members to engage with FINRA, from formal advisory committees to regional representation to CEO roundtables. Learn how member feedback directly shapes our rulemaking process, drives internal improvements, and informs the work we do.

Examinations are a cornerstone of FINRA's regulatory oversight, but how we conduct them is evolving. As part of FINRA Forward, we're making our approach more risk-informed, more efficient, and more transparent.
On this episode, J. Koutros, Senior Vice President of Member Supervision, Operations, Procedures, and Standards, Jim Reese, Senior Vice President of Examinations, and John Martino, Vice President of Examinations explore the changes reshaping FINRA's examination program: streamlined first firm exams for lower-risk firms, extended exam cycles where warranted, more targeted data requests, and advance notice about exam timing. The guests also look ahead to new technology, enhanced transparency around preliminary findings, and the ongoing feedback that drives FINRA’s continuous improvement.

Notas del episodio
Every time you check a stock price on your phone or watch a ticker scroll across a screen, you are seeing the result of a complex reporting system most investors never think about. Behind that number is a vast infrastructure capturing and consolidating trades from exchanges and over-the-counter markets in milliseconds—and that system is undergoing major enhancements.
On this episode, Chris Stone, FINRA Vice President, Transparency Services, takes us inside the systems that make market transparency possible. Stone explains how FINRA recently extended trade reporting hours to 4 a.m. ET, why the industry is preparing for 23-hour, 5-day-a-week trading by December 2026, and how FINRA’s recently implemented fractional share reporting is eliminating what researchers called "phantom volume."

Data is at the heart of everything we do at FINRA—from examining firms to detecting suspicious trading to protecting investors. But the process of requesting, gathering, and analyzing data involves significant effort across the board.
So, the question is: How do we work smarter? How do we use technology and collaboration to be more targeted in what we ask for, more efficient in how we use it, and more effective in the oversight we provide?
On this episode, Sam Draddy, Senior Vice President of Surveillance and Market Intelligence, and J. Koutros, Senior Vice President of Member Supervision Operations, Procedures, and Standards, explore how FINRA's approach to data requests is evolving. This effort embodies FINRA Forward, our commitment to continuous improvement, regulatory efficiency, and reducing burden while strengthening investor protection and market integrity.

The FINRA Investor Education Foundation’s National Financial Capability Study is an expansive source of data and insights about the financial lives of U.S. adults. Conducted every three years, this wide-ranging research effort includes the Investor Survey, an in-depth exploration of the attitudes, behaviors, knowledge and experiences of retail investors across the country.
In December, the FINRA Foundation published the latest iteration of the survey, titled "Investors in the United States: Results from the FINRA Foundation’s National Financial Capability Study." Drawing on responses from nearly 3,000 respondents in the U.S. with non-retirement investment accounts, the latest edition builds on previous Investor Survey reports, conducted every three years since 2015.
On this episode of FINRA Unscripted, FINRA Foundation President Gerri Walsh, the Foundation's Research Director Gary Mottola, and Senior Researcher Olivia Valdes discuss the study's wide-ranging findings and implications.

Today's cybersecurity threats aren't isolated incidents—they are sophisticated operations orchestrated by organized criminals and even nation states. This new reality demands we respond not as individual organizations, but as a unified industry with shared intelligence and coordinated defenses. Through FINRA Forward, we are applying this perspective to create practical tools that firms can use to protect themselves and their clients from emerging threats.
On this episode, we explore the topic with Bryan Smith, FINRA’s Senior Vice President of Complex Investigations and Intelligence; Brita Bayatmakou, Vice President of Strategic and Threat Intelligence; and Jason Beachy, Vice President of the Cyber and Analytics Unit. Our guests discuss how FINRA is working to provide firms with the intelligence, preparation, and collaborative tools they need to better protect themselves and their customers in an increasingly complex threat landscape. These efforts include workshops and tabletop exercises, the Cyber and Operational Resilience program, and our forthcoming Financial Intelligence Fusion Center.
