Why are SEC lawyers kept in the dark about surveillance and wiretaps?

I understand that, unlike United States Department of Justice lawyers, Securities and Exchange Commission lawyers are not allowed the benefit of surveillance evidence or wiretaps gathered by agencies on the same suspects during investigations.

Is this the case? If so, what is the legal reason that this is the case and what policy does this serve?
