Jälkimarkkinavalvonta

Jälkimarkkinavalvonta refers to the ongoing monitoring and oversight of financial markets and their participants after initial trading or transactions have occurred. This crucial function aims to ensure market integrity, stability, and fairness. It encompasses a range of activities designed to detect and prevent market abuse, such as insider trading, market manipulation, and fraud.

Regulatory bodies, like the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) in Finland, play a central role in post-market surveillance. They analyze trading data, transaction records, and other relevant information to identify suspicious patterns or anomalies. This surveillance extends to various financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, derivatives, and other securities.

Key objectives of jälkimarkkinavalvonta include protecting investors by ensuring they receive accurate information and are not subjected to unfair practices. It also aims to maintain the confidence of market participants by upholding transparency and the rule of law. By identifying and addressing potential risks and misconduct, this oversight contributes to the overall health and efficiency of the financial system. Investigations into any detected irregularities can lead to sanctions, fines, or other enforcement actions against individuals or firms found to be in violation of market regulations.
