  • Statement On Proposal To Further Define “As A Part Of A Regular Business” In The Definition Of Dealer And Government Securities Dealer, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, March 28, 2022

    Date 28/03/2022

    The Exchange Act defines “dealer” broadly to encompass any person that is “engaged in the business of buying and selling securities . . . for [its] own account,” unless it is not doing so as “part of a regular business.”[1] Drawing the line between dealers and other active participants in our markets has long been challenging, and those challenges have only increased as our markets have evolved over the decades. Today’s proposal seeks to bring some clarity to how this definition applies in markets where some of the key providers of liquidity are not registered as dealers and may not be subject to any Commission registration framework. It would do this by establishing a qualitative test and, solely for the government securities market, a quantitative trading threshold to determine whether such firms should be required to register as dealers.
