  • Statement Of SEC Commissioner Piwowar At Open Meeting Regarding Amendments To Smaller Reporting Company Definition,

    Date 28/06/2018

    Today’s meeting is going to be a long one, so I will keep my remarks brief.  I support the adoption of this rulemaking.  But, I would be remiss if I did not express my disappointment about what we could have accomplished today had we truly focused our efforts on capital formation.

  • SEC Proposes New Approval Process For Certain Exchange-Traded Funds

    Date 28/06/2018

    The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to propose a new rule and form amendments intended to modernize the regulatory framework for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), by establishing a clear and consistent framework for the vast majority of ETFs operating today.  ETFs that satisfy certain conditions would be able to operate within the scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and to come to market without applying for individual exemptive orders.  The proposal would therefore facilitate greater competition and innovation in the ETF marketplace, leading to more choice for investors.

  • Statement At Open Meeting On Exchange-Traded Funds (Proposed Rule), SEC Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar

    Date 28/06/2018

    I am pleased to support this proposed rule, governing one of the most popular investment vehicles and trading tools in the equity and fixed income markets today: exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Twenty-six years ago, the Commission began granting exemptions from certain rules in the Investment Company Act of 1940, which would allow ETFs to operate. Since that time, demand for ETFs has sky-rocketed as investors seized on these products as a way to gain exposure in their portfolios to a wide array of asset classes, geographies, and industry sectors. Today, it is staggering to think that this industry — which has ballooned to $3.4 trillion in total net assets — operates on a series of exemptive orders granted by the SEC staff or, in cases of novel products, the Commission. Each of these has its own particular requirements and conditions, with similar requirements phrased differently over time. The time has certainly come for the Commission to provide the ETF industry with regulatory certainty and consistency befitting its role in our markets.
