Modernizing U.S. Equity Market Structure, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Brett Redfearn, Director, Division Of Trading And Markets, Washington D.C., June 22, 2020

Date 22/06/2020

Chairman Clayton:

Good afternoon and welcome to this SEC-sponsored virtual forum to discuss equity market structure.  I want to begin by thanking Deborah Lucas for her kind introduction and Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim for giving us his insightful perspective.  Promoting competition is a core objective of U.S. antitrust and securities law, and I very much appreciated hearing his insights.

Today marks the third consecutive year that Director Redfearn and I have addressed equity market structure.  Our remarks have focused on three areas needing close attention—improving the market for thinly traded securities, combatting retail fraud, and addressing concerns about the quality and cost of market data.  Here I am very pleased that we have meaningful progress to report as well as some key initiatives we are working to complete.  I would like to take a moment to commend the Commission’s dedicated staff for continuing to serve the public without missing a beat during these challenging times.
