Brattle Experts Analyze SEC Enforcement Activity Around SEC Leadership Changes in Preview of a Forthcoming Report
In a new report, Brattle Senior Associate Dr. Adrienna Huffman and Principal Dr. Jan Jindra analyze US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement activity as measured by the number of litigation releases (LRs) and orders instituting both litigated and settled administrative proceedings and other issuances (APs) from October 1, 2011 (the beginning of fiscal year 2012) through June 30, 2025.
The authors provide evidence on the number of enforcement releases for the first nine months of FY 2025 and analyze the historical patterns in the number of enforcement releases under four SEC Chairs. Their findings provide several insights about the SEC’s enforcement activity for FY25, as well as patterns in the historical data.
