Remarks Before The SIFMA Equity Market Structure Conference, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, New York, NY, April 18, 2018

Date 25/04/2018

Thank you, Randy [Snook], for your kind introduction, and for accommodating my schedule by allowing me to deliver my remarks at the beginning of today’s conference. It is a special privilege for me to be able to speak at SIFMA’s market structure conference at this early point in my tenure as a Commissioner. In recent years, I thought it would be a refreshing change to focus on less controversial issues than, say, the Dodd-Frank Act. So it was that I turned to the Securities Acts Amendments of 1975, Regulation NMS, and market structure. And increasingly, I found myself puzzling over the strange role that the Commission plays in directing—and often determining—the evolution of U.S. equity market structure and wondering where it had lost its way. This morning, I’d like to share some initial thoughts on this history and how it might help us think more clearly about the market structure issues we currently face.
