High Stakes: Comments On The Adoption Of A Rule Related To Clearing Agency Governance And Conflicts Of Interest, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Nov. 16, 2023

Date 16/11/2023

Clearing agencies play a critical role in our markets. Therefore, sound regulation of clearing agencies should be a priority for the Commission. The approach embodied in the final rule, however, micromanages clearing agency governance in a way that is likely to divert board attention from key issues by focusing it instead on an amorphous set of stakeholders. Accordingly, I dissent.

Statement On Clearing Agency Governance And Conflicts Of Interest, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, Nov. 16, 2023

Date 16/11/2023

The Commission has adopted a new rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to establish governance standards for registered clearing agencies. The rule also requires registered clearing agencies to take specified measures to mitigate or eliminate conflicts of interest. Clearing agencies play a central role in the securities markets and – unlike other entities registered with the Commission, such as broker-dealers and investment advisers – are not easily substitutable. Given the broad general support for the rule in the public comments and because the Commission has incorporated various recommendations submitted by commenters, I voted in favor of the final rule.
