Rick Ketchum, FINRA Chairman And Chief Executive Officer - SIFMA C&L New York Regional Seminar - A New Day In Regulation Of tThe Financial Markets

Date 28/10/2013

Thank you, Jerry [Baker], for that introduction and for the invitation to join you here today. 

I want to talk to you this morning about the regulatory challenges facing FINRA. Specifically, I want to talk about how technology—and the data it allows us to see—is evolving the way we regulate the markets. Already, there are a number of technological resources—especially in the areas of data, risk analytics and surveillance—that are changing the way FINRA and other regulators examine firms and oversee the markets. We are at the very early stages of this still-new era of big data and cloud computing, but the transformative potential for regulation is very promising. We envision a "new day" in regulation—where, using the power of big data and technology, we can see information in a new way, and better protect investors.

FINRA Issues New Investor Alert: Closed-End Fund Distributions: Where Is The Money Coming From?

Date 28/10/2013

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued a new Investor Alert called Closed-End Fund Distributions: Where Is the Money Coming From? to explain what closed-end funds are, how they differ from traditional mutual funds, what a distribution rate is and what to ask before investing. Closed-end funds have become popular investments because some offer high distribution rates—as high as 6 percent or more. However, investors should be aware that a fund's distribution rate is not the same thing as its return—even if the numbers might look similar. Closed-end funds typically pay distributions to investors on a monthly or quarterly basis, and may increase or decrease the distribution rate from one distribution period to the next.
