  • CFTC-SEC Joint Meeting, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Oct. 22, 2020

    Date 23/10/2020

    Introduction

    It is such a pleasure to be participating in a joint meeting with our colleagues at the CFTC this morning.  Thank you, Commissioner Quintenz, for your kind comments.  One of the highlights of my time at the SEC has been working with you and the staffs of both Commissions on issues related to Title VII.  It is not the scintillating subject matter that has made that experience so fulfilling, but the shared commitment to preserving and strengthening our capital markets.  The cooperative efforts are an important milestone in a relationship that has not been without tensions over the years.  From our first interaction, Commissioner Quintenz has exhibited a practical, collaborative approach and a cheerful persistence in tackling difficult questions.  I credit Chairmen Clayton, Giancarlo, and Tarbert for giving us the room to work together and setting a cooperative tone from the top.  Continued commitment will be important as our agencies work through differences and toward our common objectives in the many areas in which we have shared interests.  We always will be stronger working together than going our separate ways.  That is exactly what we are doing today with this joint meeting.
