Regulation Best Interest And The Investment Adviser Fiduciary Duty: Two Strong Standards That Protect And Provide Choice For Main Street Investors, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Boston, Massachusetts, July 8, 2019

Date 08/07/2019

Good evening and thank you for being here.

As many of you know, in June, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a package of rules and interpretations that will enhance the quality and transparency of retail investors’ relationships with broker-dealers and investment advisers. Importantly, they bring the legal requirements and mandated disclosures for broker-dealers and investment advisers in line with reasonable investor expectations. These actions do not attempt to favor one type of service or relationship. Rather, they are designed to increase investor protection while preserving access for Main Street investors—both in terms of choice and cost—to a variety of investment services and products.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz Regarding DSIO Staff Report On The Swap Dealer De Minimis Exception

Date 08/07/2019

In connection with the Commission’s adoption of a permanent $8 billion gross notional de minimis threshold in November 2018, the Chairman directed staff within the Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) to continue their analysis of possible alternatives for the de minimis exception, including the impact of removing cleared swaps. The staff report issued today elucidates two fundamental facts about the de minimis exception. First, the report shows that the removal of exchange-traded and cleared swaps from the de minimis calculation would result in no reduction of regulatory coverage. Second, the report highlights once again the glaring deficiencies of using notional value as the registration threshold triggering swap dealer registration.
