How DBR Affects You
What is DBR?
I have heard a lot about DBR and know that it has something to do with the release of information but I don’t really understand what it’s all about.

Some background and demystifying of jargon is in order. Firstly, DBR is an acronym for “disclosure-based regulation”. It is a philosophy of securities regulation that emphasises the importance of the quality and timeliness of material information disclosed by companies issuing securities to the public. From the information provided, investors can then judge for themselves if it is a good investment opportunity. |
The judgment on an investment opportunity rests with you, the investor. In short, it’s your money, you decide. Under DBR, the regulatory authority’s primary function would largely focus on ensuring compliance by issuers with applicable prudential and disclosure standards.
