2018 FINRA Industry Snapshot

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regulates a critical part of the securities industry—member brokerage firms doing business in the U.S. In an effort to increase public awareness and understanding about the broad range of FINRA-registered firms and individuals, FINRA for the first time is sharing an annual snapshot of some of the data collected in the course of its work.

The FINRA Industry Snapshot 2018 provides a high-level overview of the industry, ranging from the number of FINRA-registered individuals to the overall revenues of firms; from trading activity to how firms market their products and services. All of the data are reported in aggregate to respect the confidentiality of regulatory information.
