PrintOn July 27th, the Investor Advisory Committee conducted its kickoff meeting led by its Chairman, Luis Aguilar (an SEC Commissioner). The Committee, which was announced by the SEC in June, is chartered “to provide the Commission with the views of a broad spectrum of investors on their priorities,” which the SEC will consider when assessing potential regulatory reforms.
The kickoff deck from the meeting, a press release, and a video archive link are available on the committee’s website. Among the topics the deck lists as being of interest to the Committee are the following:
- Fiduciary duties
- Disclosure
- Investor-director communications
- Treatment of credit based instruments (like derivatives)
- Arbitration
- Valuation
- Majority voting
- Proxy voting
- Corporate governance
Although the topics actually discussed last week were more relevant to retail investors, the topics listed and Committee makeup indicate that future discussions are likely to be of interest to hedge funds.
