Tag: Securities Act of 1933
The Securities Act of 1933, sometimes referred to as the Truth in Securities Act was enacted following the aftermath of the stock market crash of 1929. Legislated pursuant to the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, it requires that any offer or sale of securities using the means and instrumentalities of interstate commerce be registered with the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act, unless an exemption from registration exists under the law. Prior to the Securities Act of 1933, the regulation of securities was primarily governed by state laws. The primary purpose of the ’33 Act is to ensure that buyers of securities receive complete and accurate information before they invest. Unlike state blue sky laws, which impose merit reviews, the ’33 Act embraces a disclosure philosophy, meaning that in theory, it is not illegal to sell a bad investment, as long as all the facts are accurately disclosed. In our blog, Coral Capital Partners looks at issues involving the Securities Act of 1933. We take a very close look at the various violations of the securities act that occur as a result of fraud and market manipulation.
