Discrimination of an investor by a regulator

 Discrimination against an investor by a regulator is discouraged and often

prohibited. Regulators are expected to treat all investors and market
participants fairly and equally, without showing favoritism or prejudice.

 Transparency: The regulatory process should be transparent, ensuring that

decisions are made based on clear criteria and objective standards This
helps prevent arbitrary or discriminatory actions by regulators.

 Procedural fairness: Regulators should provide fair and accessible

procedures for investors to interact with the regulatory body. This
includes ensuring that investors present their case, respond to allegations
and have access to an appeal process if they believe they have been
treated unfairly

 Consistency: Regulatory decisions should be consistent and applied

uniformly to all investors.
