SIFMA Welcomes Proposed Electronic Paperwork Submission Changes

SIFMA today issued the following statement from president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposed changes to allow electronic filing, submission, or posting of certain forms, filings, and other materials that are required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:

“SIFMA commends the SEC for proposing electronic submission changes, moving toward implementing a modernized filing framework suitable for the 21st century. The logical and natural next step is for the SEC to also review its rules on the delivery of investor communications and foster evolution in the quality of investor communications and engagement. “
