This page summarizes the categories of oversight that are commonly relevant to a diversified platform like ours.

This page is provided for general informational purposes only. It describes the categories of regulatory bodies that can have jurisdiction over activities of the kind we engage in — it is not a representation that finora funds, Inc is registered, licensed, or regulated by every body listed, unless separately confirmed in your account or offering documentation.

State-level "Blue Sky" authorities (e.g. California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation) that oversee securities activity within their state.

Financial Crimes / AML Authorities

Anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer obligations are informed by bodies such as FinCEN in the U.S. and equivalent financial intelligence units elsewhere.

Energy Regulatory Commissions

Bodies such as the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and California Energy Commission (CEC) oversee utility, grid, and energy-project matters where our energy investments touch those markets.

Environmental Regulators

Agencies such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. EPA oversee emissions, environmental compliance, and climate-related rules relevant to energy and industrial assets.
