SIFMA, SIFMA AMG Express Concerns With SEC Proposal To Redefine Exchanges

Date 14/06/2023

In a comment letter filed with the SEC, SIFMA broadly supports the policy goal of ensuring that rules governing trading venues keep pace with technological and market developments but remains concerned that the SEC’s proposal to redefine the scope of what constitutes an exchange and expand Regulation ATS is not appropriately tailored to these ends.  In a separate comment letter, SIFMA’s Asset Management Group (AMG) likewise expresses its appreciation of the SEC’s intent to support well-functioning markets, but absent the clear identification of a problem not already well-addressed by existing regulations, SIFMA AMG has serious questions and concerns about the potential for an expansive interpretation as to the scope of these changes.
