“The SEC After The Financial Crisis: Protecting Investors, Preserving Markets, Speech By SEC Chair Mary Jo White, The Economic Club Of New York, Jan. 17, 2017
Date 17/01/2017
Thank you, Terry [Lundgren], for that generous introduction.
As always, it is great to be back speaking at The Economic Club of New York.
I especially appreciate the invitation to speak to you today, three days away from completing my term as the 31st Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I am often asked for my reflections on this period of my public service. My most frequent response is “never a dull moment.” My less irreverent observation is how proud I am of what the agency has accomplished for investors and the markets in the last four years. But I will leave it to others to catalog and assess what we have done. My topic for today is forward looking.
