Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'securities' (financial tradable assets) + 'industry' (the sector of businesses) yields the sector of businesses dealing in securities. This is a straightforward noun-noun compound pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Securities industry comes from security, a word for a paper that shows you own part of a company or that someone promises to pay you, and industry, meaning a business area. So the phrase means the companies and markets that make, sell, and trade those papers, for example the 'stocks' and 'bonds' markets.
