This research involves analyzing market data, regulatory filings, and industry practices to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities for improving integrity.

Developing policy recommendations and best practices to strengthen integrity and investor confidence in capital markets.

Monitoring capital markets for signs of suspicious or fraudulent activity, such as market manipulation, insider trading, and other forms of misconduct. This involves analyzing trading data, transaction patterns, and market trends to detect potential violations of securities laws and regulations.

Collaborating with other think tanks, research institutions, regulatory agencies, law enforcement agencies, and industry associations to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and coordinate efforts to promote capital markets integrity. This may involve participating in joint research projects, organizing conferences, and forming partnerships to address common challenges.
