Digital Assets And The Future Of Finance: Examining The Benefits And Risks Of A U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard, Before The Committee On Financial Services, U.S. House Of Representatives, Washington, D.C.

Date 25/05/2022

Chairwoman Waters, Ranking Member McHenry, and other members of the Committee, I am pleased to join you today. With technology driving profound change, it is important we prepare for the financial system of the future and not limit our thinking to the financial system of today. No decision has been made about whether a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC) will be a part of that future, but it is important to undertake the necessary work to inform any such decision and to be ready to move forward should the need arise.

Statement On Environmental, Social, And Governance Disclosures For Investment Advisers And Investment Companies, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

Thank you, Mr. Chair. A key impetus for today’s rulemaking is a legitimate concern about the practice of greenwashing by investment advisers and investment companies. This concern is real because advisers can mint money by calling their products and services “green” without doing anything special to justify that label. Only days ago, we settled an enforcement proceeding in which we alleged that an adviser said one thing about ESG and did another. Yet while enforcement proceedings of this sort illustrate the problem, they also show that we already have a solution: when we see advisers that do not accurately characterize their ESG practices, we can enforce the laws and rules that already apply. A new rule to address greenwashing, therefore, should not be a high priority.

It’s Not Easy Being Green[1] : Bringing Transparency And Accountability To Sustainable Investing, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

I am pleased to support today’s proposal to bring greater transparency and accountability to sustainable investing. There has been explosive growth in investor interest and demand around such investments, both domestically and internationally. With that increasing demand comes increasing need for consistent, comparable, and reliable information – information to help protect investors from “greenwashing,” or exaggerated or false claims about ESG practices. Greenwashing can mislead investors as to the true risks, rewards, and pricing of investment assets.

What’s In A Name? Aligning Fund Names With Investor Expectations, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

Today, the Commission draws on more than two decades of experience analyzing fund names and considering how certain names may mislead investors about a fund’s investment focus, potentially resulting in misallocations of capital. Today’s proposal would modernize the existing “Names Rule” in light of current fund practices, enhance consistency of the rule’s application across funds, and provide key safeguards for investors. Fund names, as with any type of branding, provide a critical means by which sponsors market their funds and convey information to investors, and today’s proposal recognizes that investors may often rely on fund names in deciding where to invest their savings. I’m pleased to support today’s proposal which would bring meaningful improvements in aligning investor expectations and understanding with a fund’s actual focus and the strategies it pursues.
Statement On Proposed Rule Requiring Enhanced Disclosure By Certain Investment Advisers And Investment Companies On ESG Investment Practices, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

The role of Environmental, Social, and Governance issues – or “ESG” – in investing has undeniably changed over time. Investor demand for products and strategies that take into account ESG factors has increased dramatically over the past decade. And, the asset management industry has responded to meet that demand.
A Rose By Any Other Name: Statement on Proposed Amendments To The Names Rule, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

As the saying goes – you should mean what you say, and say what you mean. In some ways, this simple refrain summarizes the backbone of our disclosure regime and the impetus behind the Names Rule and today’s proposed amendments to that rule.
Statement On Investment Company Names, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, May 25, 2022

Date 25/05/2022

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the staff in the Divisions of Investment Management and Economic and Risk Analysis, and the Office of the General Counsel, and to others at the Commission who worked on this proposal. Thank you for meeting demanding deadlines under considerable pressure and for fielding my many questions with unwavering professionalism. Despite my admiration for the effort that went into this initiative and my appreciation for some of the motivating concerns, I cannot support today’s proposed amendments to the Names Rule.
