MFA Statement on SEC Extending Comment Period for Proposed Rules

WASHINGTON, DC –Managed Funds Association President and CEO Bryan Corbett today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) move to reopen and extend the comment period for broad proposals, including the agency’s Private Fund Adviser Rules:

“We appreciate the SEC broadly recognizing the importance of more time for stakeholders to submit meaningful comments on its proposed rules. Proposals as consequential as the private fund adviser rules should not be rushed through the regulatory process without adequate time for advisers, their investors, and other stakeholders to provide serious consideration and analysis of the ramifications for investors, markets and market competition, the advisory business, and the broader economy. We hope the Commission will consider extending other recently proposed and equally consequential rulemakings.”
