  • SIFMA Joins Coalition Letter Highlighting Problems With The PRO Act

    Date 04/03/2021

    SIFMA today joined a coalition of trade associations, whose combined members provide financial services to more than 112 million American families, in a letter to Congressional leadership highlighting problems and possible unintended consequences of provisions within H.R. 842, known as the PRO Act:

    “By effectively reclassifying independent contractors as employees, the PRO Act would create unintended consequences for the industry, and specifically insurance producers and independent financial advisors. These individuals are vital to ensuring that Main Street Americans have access to the important advice, products and services necessary to achieve their financial goals and protect their homes, families and businesses. In times of catastrophe, insurers engage independent contractors to provide a faster response for consumers experiencing loss. The PRO Act’s ‘ABC test’ could eliminate the choice a majority of practitioners have made to serve clients independently. In turn that could drastically reduce clients’ ability to access high quality advice for their insurance, investment and retirement security needs.”

  • Enhancing Focus On The SEC’s Enhanced Climate Change Efforts: SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Elad L. Roisman, March 4, 2021

    Date 04/03/2021

    Over the past two weeks, we and the public have seen a steady flow of SEC “climate” statements and press releases.[1]  Our Divisions of Corporation Finance, Examinations, and Enforcement all have announced climate- or ESG-related initiatives.  What does this “enhanced focus” on climate-related matters mean?  The short answer is: it’s not yet clear.  Do these announcements represent a change from current Commission practices or a continuation of the status quo with a new public relations twist?  Time will tell.  In the meantime, it is important to contextualize the recent announcements by providing some historical and procedural background.
