  • SIFMA Statement On The MSRB’s Proposal To Establish Best-Execution Rule For Municipal Securities Transactions

    Date 19/02/2014

    SIFMA today released the following statement from Randy Snook, executive vice president, business policies and practices, SIFMA, on the MSRB's proposal to establish a best-execution rule for municipal securities transactions:

    "SIFMA appreciates the proposal issued by the MSRB today.  We and our members share the MSRB's goal of improving execution standards for dealers and promoting fair and reasonable pricing for investors.  Developing a higher standard is in the best interest of investors and the municipal market, and is something SIFMA has been focused on for the past year. SIFMA appreciates the MSRB's consideration of our 'execution with diligence' proposal.  We also appreciate that the MSRB, in its proposal, noted that a failure to have actually obtained the most favorable price will not necessarily mean that the dealer failed to use reasonable diligence.  We are reviewing the MSRB's best-execution proposal, particularly with regard to the extent it reflects the unique characteristics of the municipal securities market as FINRA 5310 is, at its core, an equity market rule.  SIFMA is committed to working with the MSRB on this issue and will provide more substantive comments after a full review with our members."

  • SIFMA And AFME Statement On TTIP Negotiations

    Date 19/02/2014

    SIFMA President and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. and AFME CEO Simon Lewis, whose respective memberships are comprised of firms that engage for their clients in all aspects of the transatlantic financial marketplace, today issued the following statement on this week's TTIP negotiations:

    "The TTIP meeting between EU Commissioner Karel de Gucht and USTR Michael Froman in Washington, DC this week offered the opportunity for U.S. and E.U. policymakers to enhance the financial services framework for regulatory cooperation. SIFMA and AFME are of the view that expanding opportunities for financial services providers and their clients in the transatlantic market can only be realized if TTIP includes commitments for regulatory coordination and cooperation, which are fundamental to our intertwined economies and financial markets. This week's meeting was a critical opportunity to enhance coordination, reduce conflict and confusion, and improve the efficiency of regulations across jurisdictions. Importantly, a financial services regulatory framework between the U.S. and E.U. would facilitate and guide efforts to promote consistent high-quality regulatory standards in global markets."
