Hey,

As both Security Law and Investment Law are relevant to financial markets, still the two are different in contexts.

Following table summarises the key differences between both the laws:

Feature	Security Law	Investment Law
Sub-topic	Regulation of issuing and trading securities	Rights and protections for investors
Instruments	Stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc.	Investments of all types (securities, real estate, etc.)
Aims	Sustain the markets that are ethical, efficient and well-organized	Facilitate investment and protect investor interests
Examples	Insider trading regulations, disclosure rules	Treaties protecting foreign investment, regulations
Supervisory institutions	Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (US)	Can vary depending on jurisdiction and investment type
