Regulators in capital markets do not seek to:

Regulators in capital markets primarily aim to maintain the integrity, efficiency, and transparency of financial markets. While ensuring investors are treated fairly is an important consideration, regulators do not focus specifically on guaranteeing that all investors are treated equally. This is due in part to the inherent differences in investment products, risk profiles, and investor sophistication levels. Some investors may have access to information and resources that others do not, which can lead to varied treatment based on these factors.

The other objectives of regulators include reducing investment risk, which involves implementing measures to protect investors and enhance confidence in the market; allocating capital to productive uses, which ensures that funds are directed towards enterprises that can generate economic growth; and enhancing market liquidity, which is essential for the smooth functioning of capital markets and helps to ensure that assets can be bought and sold with ease. These goals are aligned with the broader regulatory mission of promoting fair and efficient capital markets.
