The Securities and Exchange Commission is reaching beyond Wall Street for comment on its proposed best-interest regulation for investment advisors and broker-dealers.
The commission announced Friday that Chairman Jay Clayton will be holding a series of roundtable discussions with “Main Street investors” around the country in July so they can “share their views on key questions about their relationship with their investment professional.”
“Our proposed rules are intended to match our rules with investor expectations and it is crucial that we hear directly from the investors themselves on how we can best ensure that result,” said Clayton in a statement.
Roundtables will be held on July 9 in Miami; July 12 in Washington, D.C.; July 17 in Philadelphia; and July 25 in Denver. Times and locations and RSVP forms can be found in the SEC’s announcement and more information is available from Suzanne McGovern at the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy at [email protected]. Roundtables have already been held in Houston and Atlanta, according to the SEC.
