Date 11/12/2015
SIFMA’s Asset Management Group today released a statement from Timothy Cameron, managing director and head of SIFMA’s Asset Management Group, after the Securities and Exchange Commission voted to propose new rules governing the use of derivatives by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and business development companies:
“SIFMA’s Asset Management Group believes the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as the primary regulator of investment managers, is the appropriate agency to review and address risk in asset manager products and activities. As the SEC moves forward with its five expected rulemakings, including this proposal focused on the use of derivatives in investment funds, industry insight will be critical to crafting rules that modernize asset management regulation without unnecessarily impeding the ability of asset managers to help clients achieve their financial goals. SIFMA AMG will review the proposal in detail with our members and provide substantive comments to the SEC.”
