Remarks At Asset Management Advisory Committee Meeting, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, July 7, 2021

Date 07/07/2021

Thank you, Ed [Bernard]. Thank you to all the hard-working Committee members and today’s panelists. I am looking forward to the discussion this afternoon about technology-enabled personalization, which offers the asset management industry a powerful new tool to serve investors better. I am eager to work on the regulatory side to ensure that nothing in the rulebooks is preventing asset managers from using technology for their clients’ benefit. Speaking of regulatory barriers, the Interim Report of the Subcommittee on Private Investments helpfully identifies some ways in which current rules or staff rules of thumb prevent retail investors from getting diversified access to private investments. I look forward to the discussion of potential recommendations in light of the Design Principles laid out in the report.
