What we do  

SIA provides a forum for discussing industry issues and developments, and managing industry change. As the voice for the securities industry, we represent the industry on non-competitive operational, policy, regulatory and legislative matters issues to strengthen and grow New Zealand’s financial market ecosystem. We do this through engaging with our key stakeholders including government and regulators, contributing to consultations, and making formal submissions on issues important to us.

SIA's Representative Members meet regularly to discuss the work programme, key issues and priorities, and working groups convene as and when required to address current issues. 
                                                             

Developing the financial market ecosystem
We believe that the financial markets have the potential for delivering further growth and contributions to our economy. 
​
Our industry supports initiatives that will increase the number of quality NZX listings and NZX participants in NZX's markets and expand NZX’s reach to international investors. We also encourage opportunities that provide more investment opportunities for New Zealanders and deliver pathways for New Zealand businesses to access capital for growth.

Our priorities

​​To promote trusted, effective and resilient financial markets we advocate for:
​​​     1.   strong primary markets​ where companies can attract capital from New Zealand investors
     2.   strong secondary markets that provide a fair and transparent platform to buy and sell investments​
     3.   long-term savings and investments for the benefit of New Zealanders​
     4.   sound policy and regulatory systems that strengthen and grow the industry and promote good conduct, transparency and best practice​.
