在美国证监会官方网站首页的简介中,起始两个自然段的文字为:
The mission of the US Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.(美国证券交易监督委员会的使命是保护投资者,维护市场的公平、秩序和高效,促进市场的资本积累。)
As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, our investor protection mission is more compelling than ever.(当越来越多的民众,他们基于对未来生活保障的原因,家庭日常生活开支的原因,培养孩子上大学的原因,第一次投资证券市场的时候,我们的监督保护使命比任何时候都重大,这个使命必须去完成。)
