SEC Statistics and Data Visualizations

Editorial Team – [2025] 177 taxmann.com 553 (Article)

1. SEC Launches New Statistics and Data Visualizations Webpage

On 18 August 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the launch of a new Statistics and Data Visualizations webpage. This initiative aims to improve public access to critical regulatory data and enhance transparency in the U.S. capital markets. The platform consolidates key information on market structure, investments, corporate disclosures, and enforcement trends, making it easier for stakeholders to navigate complex financial datasets.

2. Enhancing Transparency for Market Participants

The webpage is equipped with interactive charts, dashboards, and visual tools that allow investors, academics, and other market participants to analyze developments more effectively. By centralizing and simplifying data, the SEC ensures that even non-experts can understand key market movements and regulatory insights. This step aligns with global best practices in financial governance, where transparency and easy access to data form the cornerstone of investor confidence.

3. Supporting Market Integrity and Investor Protection

Through this digital initiative, the SEC reinforces its ongoing efforts to strengthen market integrity and investor protection. Easy access to regulatory data helps market participants make informed decisions and reduces the information gap that often exists between regulators and investors. By fostering accountability, the SEC also ensures that its enforcement actions and policy developments are more visible to the public, thereby building trust in the U.S. financial system.

4. ASIC to Review Superannuation Investment Requirements

Meanwhile, on 13 August 2025, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) initiated a review of superannuation investment requirements. This review will examine disclosure obligations under Regulatory Guide 97 (RG 97), particularly the requirement to disclose stamp duty payments in Product Disclosure Statements (PDSs) and periodic statements. The move is expected to encourage greater investment in property by Australia’s superannuation funds. By clarifying and potentially easing disclosure rules, ASIC aims to ensure that superannuation investments remain transparent while also supporting the growth of long-term investment opportunities in Australia’s property sector.
