  • SIFMA Comments On FSOC Asset Management Conference

    Date 19/05/2014

    SIFMA today released the following statement from Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA president and CEO, regarding the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) conference on the impact of asset managers on financial stability:

    “We are encouraged that FSOC has taken a step to engage with the asset management industry at today’s conference. It’s vital that the FSOC engage in meaningful dialogue with industry participants and further study the asset management industry and its unique characteristics before making any decisions regarding the designation of asset managers as SIFIs. Following today’s conference, we hope the FSOC will continue this dialogue with the industry and make any findings transparent to the public before taking any action. SIFMA’s view remains that designating asset management firms or funds as SIFIs is unnecessary and would negatively impact investors. An activities-based approach is the most effective way to regulate the types of behavior that could impact financial stability.  Further, the FSOC should allow asset managers’ primary regulator, the SEC, to complete current reform initiatives and evaluate their cumulative impact before moving forward with any sort of SIFI designation.
