The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) consists of five presidentially-appointed Commissioners with staggered five-year terms. The President designates one of the Commissioners as Chairman, the Agency's Chief Executive. By law, no more than three of the Commissioners may belong to the same political party, helping to ensure non-partisanship. The agency's functional responsibilities are organized into five Divisions and multiple offices headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Commission's approximately 3,500 staff are located in Washington and in Regional Offices throughout the country.
Divisions:
Division of Corporation Finance
Division of Trading and Markets
Division of Investment Management
Division of Enforcement
Division of Economic Risk and Analysis
