Securities Board of Nepal

<p>The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) is the apex regulator of Nepal's capital markets, headquartered in Thapathali, Kathmandu. Established under the Securities Act 2063, SEBON regulates the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), listed companies, stock brokers, merchant bankers, and collective investment schemes. SEBON plays a critical role in developing Nepal's nascent but rapidly growing capital markets.</p><p>SEBON's legal division employs Advocates (अधिवक्ता) who draft regulations, investigate market misconduct, enforce insider trading prohibitions, and review public offer documentation for initial public offerings (IPOs) — a major area of activity given Nepal's IPO boom in the banking, hydropower, and insurance sectors. Legal officers appear before the courts and coordinate with the Office of the Attorney General on enforcement matters.</p><p>Working at SEBON provides legal professionals with unparalleled exposure to securities regulation, corporate governance enforcement under the Companies Act 2063 (2006), and capital markets development. The Thapathali office is centrally located in Kathmandu, near the NEPSE trading floor and major financial institutions along the Bagmati River corridor.</p>
