  • Enhancing And Standardizing Climate-Related Disclosures For Investors, SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, March 6, 2024

    Date 06/03/2024

    Over the last nine decades, the Commission, pursuant to authority granted by Congress, has amended its disclosure requirements on dozens of occasions. Commissions from both political parties have modernized existing rules, or adopted new ones, to adapt to changing market conditions and to meet investor demand for improved disclosure of material information. In the process, the Commission has done what it does best: protect investors by empowering them to make informed investment and voting decisions.

  • Enhancing Order Execution Reporting For The Benefit Of Investors, SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, March 6, 2024

    Date 06/03/2024

    Since the Commission’s original adoption of Rule 605 nearly a quarter century ago, the size, structure, and trading speed of our markets have all changed significantly. Although the rule has worked well since then, the information on execution quality included in current Rule 605 reports is less useful in meeting the modern needs of market participants and investors. The current scope and content of Rule 605 reports have fallen behind technological and market developments, such as increased retail participation, trading of fractional shares, and off-exchange trading.

  • Statement On Adoption Of Amendments To Rule 605: Disclosure Of Order Execution Information, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, March 6, 2024

    Date 06/03/2024

    Before Rule 605 was adopted, there was little publicly available information that investors could use to compare and evaluate execution quality among different market centers. Retail investors were not in a position to make informed decisions based on important measures of execution quality such as effective spreads and price improvements. Instead, these investors were left to choose among broker-dealers that ostensibly offered the lowest commission and “fast” executions. However, there was no straightforward way for investors to compare execution quality across broker-dealers or market centers when evaluating these claims. As a result, neither market centers such as exchanges and certain market makers, nor broker-dealers had a strong incentive to compete on their ability to obtain the best prices for investor orders.

  • Green Regs And Spam[1]: Statement On The Enhancement And Standardization Of Climate-Related Disclosures For Investors, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce March 6, 2024

    Date 06/03/2024

    Thank you, Mr. Chair. The final rule is different from the proposal, but it still promises to spam investors with details about the Commission’s pet topic of the day—climate. As we have heard already, the recommendation before us eliminates the Scope 3 reporting requirements, reworks the financial statement disclosures, and removes some of the other overly granular disclosures. But these changes do not alter the rule’s fundamental flaw—its insistence that climate issues deserve special treatment and disproportionate space in Commission disclosures and managers’ and directors’ brain space. Because the Commission fails to justify that disparate treatment, I dissent.
