For over 45 years, the Consumer Federation of America (“CFA”) has played a critical role in advancing the interests of consumers through your research, advocacy and education efforts. At the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have a three-part mission -- to protect investors, to ensure fair and efficient markets and to facilitate capital formation. Each part of our mission circles back to the first – to protect investors – because if our markets are not fair and safe, they will not attract investors to provide the capital companies are seeking.
