Investor Protection Rules are regulations designed to safeguard individuals and entities participating in financial markets from fraud, manipulation, and unfair practices. These rules typically mandate disclosure requirements, impose standards of conduct on financial intermediaries, and provide avenues for recourse. Their purpose is to foster market integrity and maintain public confidence in financial systems.
