SEC Unveils New Fixed Income Market Structure Advisory Committee

November 30, 2017

The SEC announced earlier this month the formation and first members of its Fixed Income Market Structure Advisory Committee. The committee will initially focus on the corporate bond and municipal securities markets – providing advice to the Commission on the efficiency and resiliency of these markets, and identifying opportunities for regulatory improvements.

 

“Individual investors are highly active in fixed income markets, both directly as retail investors and indirectly through various types of funds.”

“This committee will help the Commission ensure that our regulatory approach to these markets meets the needs of retail investors, as well as companies and state and local governments.  I appreciate the committee members’ willingness to participate, and I would like to thank Commissioners Stein and Piwowar for their highly collaborative efforts in establishing the committee.”  - -  SEC Chair Jay Clayton
