This law has two main goals. First, it wants to help businesses, investors, and consumers feel confident and well-informed when they take part in financial markets. Second, it aims to encourage and support the growth of financial markets that are fair, work well, and are open about how they operate.

You can think of financial markets as places where people and businesses buy and sell things like stocks, bonds, and other financial products. This law wants to make sure that everyone involved in these markets knows what they're doing and feels secure about it. It also wants to make sure that these markets are set up in a way that's fair to everyone, runs smoothly, and doesn't hide anything important.
