STANY is the voice of the trading community in the Great New York City area. STANY represents individuals, engaged in the buying, selling and trading of securities. As such, we are uniquely qualified to discuss rules and regulations affecting the purchase and sale of securities. STANY does not represent a single business or business model, but rather provides a forum for trading professionals from institutions, broker-dealers, ECNs, ATSs and systems providers to share their unique perspectives on issues facing the securities markets. Our members work together to promote their shared interest in efficient, liquid markets, as well as their concern for investor protection. We believe that strong and efficient markets require an appropriate balance between effective regulation and innovation and competition. STANY has consistently been an advocate for reasoned regulation aimed at solving real problems and improving US capital markets. We have also opposed regulation for regulation’s sake. Despite our members’ diverse backgrounds and member firms’ differing business models, our members’ primary concern is promoting strong and robust markets that offer investors the best choices, provide businesses advantageous capital formation tools, and ensure the US its premier place as a world leader in the financial markets. We desire a market that instills investor confidence and fosters investor participation.
