Investor Advisory Committee

Section 911 of the Dodd-Frank Act established the new Investor Advisory Committee to advise the Commission on regulatory priorities, the regulation of securities products, trading strategies, fee structures, the effectiveness of disclosure, and on initiatives to protect investor interests and to promote investor confidence and the integrity of the securities marketplace. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the committee to submit findings and recommendations for review and consideration by the Commission.

Mary Schapiro, SEC Chairman: Through this well-respected and diverse group, we are reaching out to investors in a new and significant way. I look forward to hearing their views on new products, trading strategies, fee structures, and the effectiveness of disclosure, among other issues.
