  • Statement At Open Meeting On Rule 15b9-1, SEC Commissioner Kara M. Stein, March 25, 2015

    Date 25/03/2015

    First, I would like to echo my thanks to the staff who have worked hard on this release.   

    Today’s proposal addresses the lack of uniform oversight of broker-dealers.  Generally, a registered broker-dealer must be a member of a securities association unless it conducts its trades solely on an exchange.  A securities association serves as a self-regulatory organization, or SRO, which provides important oversight and a regulatory framework to safeguard investors.  In 1976, the Commission issued a provision that provided a conditional exemption for certain exchange members from this membership requirement.

  • Statement At Open Meeting on Rule 15b9-1, SEC Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar, March 25, 2015

    Date 25/03/2015

    Thank you, Chair White.

    As with any rulemaking, this one raises a serious threshold question:  why it is necessary and appropriate.  I am not convinced that today’s proposal clears that hurdle.  But, despite my reservations, I will be voting in favor of the Staff’s recommendation.  I believe there is value in seeking public input about the current nature and state of regulatory oversight of certain market participants and the potential for enhancements to our regulatory structure.  I hope that interested parties will provide robust comment on the proposal to help inform our decision on whether to proceed with adopting these rule amendments.  Of course, all comments are welcome; each and every one of the questions we pose should generate responses and data that will be of great benefit to us.  But I want to identify three issues on which I expect feedback will be particularly helpful.
