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.

Statement On The Further Definition Of A Dealer-Trader, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, March 28, 2022
Date 28/03/2022
Today, the Commission unanimously proposed two rules further defining a dealer to help identify principal trading firms (PTFs) and firms conducting similar activities that must register with the SEC. I was pleased to support this proposal because I believe it reflects Congress’s statutory intent that firms engaging in important liquidity-providing roles in the securities markets, including in the U.S. Treasury market, be registered with the Commission. Further, requiring all firms that regularly make markets, or otherwise perform important liquidity-providing roles, to register as dealers or government securities dealers also could help level the playing field among firms and enhance the resiliency of our markets.
