Statement On The Investor Advisory Committee Nominating Process, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, Aug. 5, 2020

We know that it is vital for investors to understand exactly how their money is managed and how their investments perform over time. To that end, although there are a couple of items in the proposal that I hope will improve, I’m pleased to support it because it would make a number of helpful changes to fund disclosure requirements to provide investors with information that is more digestible, user-friendly, relevant, and engaging.
